I swear most of these tools are made for the sake of it…

While good old prompting is often better than plan mode or superpower skills.

I've had a number of people send me tools like this at work, and easily 50% of them can't answer basic questions like "what's the reason someone would adopt this tool" or "how do you know that it will achieve its stated goals". Agents are good at reading code, I can't imagine what the point of autogenerating agent context could be if it's not showing demonstrable cost benefits.

I have a fork of the OpenAI Codex repo at https://github.com/gitsense/smart-codex that shows why you may want to autogenerate agent context.

I makes navigating a 4000+ file repo extremely context efficient. It is important to note that the goal is too keep the context as clean as possible and not necessary speed.
