I’m working on a project that has now outgrown the context window of even gpt-5 pro. I use code2prompt and ChatGPT with pro will reject the prompt as too large.

I’ve been trying to use shorter variable names. Maybe I should move unit tests into their own file and ignore them? It’s not idiomatic in Rust though and breaks visibility rules for the modules.

What we really need is for the agent to assemble the required context for the problem space. I suspect this is what coding agents will do if they don’t already.
