What if your client comes back?
On a more practical note, what structure, formats and tools do you use that enable you to feed it to an LLM?

I'm usually contractually obligated to destroy all client IP that I may posses at the end of an engagement. My contracts usually specify that I will retain engagement specific information for a period of six months beyond the end of the contract. If they come back within that time, then I'll have prior context. Otherwise it's gone. Occasionally, a client does come back after a year or two, but most of the knowledge would have been obsolete and outdated anyway.
As for LLMs. I have a couple of python scripts that concatenate files in the repo into a context that I pass to Google's Gemini API or Google AI studio, mostly the latter. It can get expensive in some situations. I don't usually load the whole repository. And I keep the chat context around so I can keep asking question around the same topic.
