It can generate extensive documentation and diagrams for the code. And when new commits impact key files, it will reevaluate and update the tool's reference material.

For complex coding tasks, this practice has made Claude Code go from an annoying intern who doesn't bother to understand the code and makes asanine changes, to a seasoned employee who expertly knows the code in and out.

I have a tool for dealing with coding a huge interactive native application and platform. When I am asking it to work with a part of the codebase that it is not familiar with, the tool will prompt it to ask me questions and gather reference about how the code works.

However, teaching Claude about the codebase and making custom tools and references greatly improves its performance.
