The original title is: "Why AI Coding Agents Fail on Large Repos: The Stateless Context Problem"

Short summary

Stateless AI coding agents fail on large repos because they lack persistent context across sessions and cannot track downstream dependencies, causing unintended breakage when editing interconnected modules. The author built CXGRD, a CLI tool that maps codebases into dependency graphs, calculates blast radius for changes, and feeds enriched prompts to AI tools with compiler-backed verification. It is available free via npm as an open-source package.

• •AI coding agents break things in large repos because they lack cross-session context and dependency awareness
• •CXGRD CLI maps dependency graphs and calculates blast radius to enrich AI prompts with full codebase context
• •Tool is free and installable via npm; author seeks feedback from developers facing similar issues
