how does the AI know what the rest of the project is like? Or what the purpouse of the file is?

What do you mean "rest of the project"? Don't you put all of everything into a singular neatly contained file? It's way more optimized that way

That's Link Time Optimization, right? Put everything into one place for the linker to optimize.

With the obscure language I use for work, I do tend to keep each system to a single file, even though includes and modules are supported.

Granted, they are generally between 500 and 5000 lines, and are usually written from scratch.

That being said, there is a 0 percent chance I'm going to be feeding anything I write into Grok.
