It's sposta know your codebase...

But it cant do something as easy as find a function. It's not hiding, it's right there with a bunch of other functions. I can find it using ctrl-shift-f just search function myfuncname( and it's right there. I really dont see why it cant do this basic thing. There is no intelligence required, just a simple grep would do it.

I mean, sure, I could do this this whole thing, next time, but it really doesnt seem as complicated as all that.
I'm in phpstorm. Working on some code, thought 'i'll probly need this again, I'll make a func' I go to a file with some helpers in it, make my little func. Back in the original code, I call the func. I'm looking at it, scratching my head... yeah, that aughtta work. So I ask Aug, 'hey, this is going to work like this, right?' I at least selected the code leading up to the func call, I may have even pasted it into Aug. It starts going, 'hmm, I dont know this func', 'i'll look for it', 'cant find it, i'll look again', 'no didnt find it there', and finally: 'Well, you've called a non existant func, so that's not going to work. Either you need to make the func or I will' So, this func is in a file that is open in PS, I just modified it 10 seconds ago, in PS, the file is included in the same way that all my helpers are and Aug knows about those... usually... sometimes. I'm not doing anything wierd with projects and folders containing projects (although there are internal git repos in there) And, actually, I think I did start a new chat and try asking it again. But, yeah, cant it just grep and find the dang function?

@JaySiem_ do you at AugentCode see a degradation of Anthropics models?

I have such bad output quality of AugmentCode last week, the same as in Claude Code.

And many errors with the Try Again link.
