What needs to be improved? Please describe how this affects the user experience and include a screenshot.

I'm trying to understand my codebase and the responses are not taking into account how the code is setup. I've already enabled enhanced context and I'm using Claude 3 Opus Screenshot 2024-05-04 at 10 47 31 AM

Describe the solution you'd like to see

It should say something like "file x is doing y and z" not generic "The admin directory likely contains files related to the administrative functionality of your website."

I want to understand exactly how my code functions taking the entire codebase into account.

Describe any alternatives that could be considered

Github Copilot maybe, I'm still willing to give Cody a shot. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

Additional context

I'm learning to code and I've downloaded a next js template. my first step is to understand the code before editing it and implementing my learnings from the nextjs course.

My prompt in the screenshot was: Explain how the following parts of my codebase work:

  • admin
  • db
  • og
