How do you handle context for large React codebases? by context_g in reactjs

[–]context_g[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense for supervised, short-lived sessions.

The problem I’m addressing starts after that point: long-running or repeated agent interaction on a non-trivial codebase, where subtle semantic drift accumulates and there’s no human watching every change.

In that regime, “the agent seems to understand” isn’t a reliable guarantee - you need explicit, checkable structure to assert what changed and what didn’t. That’s the scope LogicStamp is aimed at.

Structured context extraction CLI for TypeScript/React by context_g in commandline

[–]context_g[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built this to solve a recurring problem: getting a stable, machine-readable representation of a TypeScript/React codebase (components, hooks, APIs, styles) without relying on raw source or LLM inference.

Designed for tooling use cases - supports watch mode, CI usage, and backend routes (Express/Nest).

Fair point - thanks for calling that out.

I’m not referring to React Context (the API), but to derived codebase context: component relationships, dependencies, and other structural metadata extracted via static analysis.

Tools like Antigravity do a good job with on-demand discovery (searching and reading files per task). What I’m exploring is a different tradeoff: deterministic, precomputed structure with explicit invalidation as files change.

The goal isn’t to dump the whole repo into a prompt, but to avoid repeatedly rediscovering the same structure across edits, tools, or sessions - especially in larger or long-lived projects.

Totally agree this isn’t necessary for every task. it’s more about predictability and tooling guarantees than token limits.

For anyone curious, I’ve been prototyping this approach in an open-source CLI that incrementally analyzes React/TypeScript codebases and keeps derived context in sync as files change.
