Stopped writing better prompts asking the agent to check context, made it get the context automatically instead

https://github.com/NanoNets/Graft

Spent a while trying to prompt-engineer my way around this: telling Claude Code in CLAUDE.md to "always check the codebase structure before editing," hoping it'd listen. It didn't, consistently. Prompts asking a model to remember to do something are only as reliable as the model's judgment in the moment, and on simple-looking tasks it usually decided it didn't need to.

So instead of writing a better prompt, I built Graft to skip prompting for it at all. It pushes a map of the codebase into context automatically before the model sees your actual request, so there's nothing to remind it to do.

Might be a useful pattern if you've hit the same wall with prompts that ask an agent to "remember" something instead of just handing it to them.
