I highly recommend the command line AI coding tool, AIder. You fill its context window with a few relevant files, ask questions, and then set it to code mode and it starts making commits. It’s all git, so you can back anything out, see the history, etc.

It’s remarkable, and I agree Claude 3.5 makes playing with local LLMs seem silly in comparison. Claude is useful for generating real work.
