"Hello, fellow humans."
Hello, fellow programmers, how goes the agile today? Amiright?
ah yes i will upload main_source-code-file.sh and ask it to help why it wont open
It would be crazy if something like that could be realized as an IDE plugin for something. But clearly Elon himself only writes code in Notepad.
I dunno if you're joking, but yeah there's IDE plugins that do this. GitHub Copilot grabs context from files in your edit history and you can tell it to edit, refactor, "fix" etc. selections. The more complex actions, the less likely to succeed, though.

...They don't use it over API?
Regardless of whether it is truly superior (it isn't, but neither is Cursor, if you think about it), it is actually more tedious to “cut and paste” the “source code file” and then paste back the output.
It is far simpler to just initiate a chat within Cursor, allowing it to identify all the files necessary for context alongside the one being viewed.
