Support of project context like aider repo-map or zed /project

First of all, thanks for the great plugin! It is the most feature-rich AI plugin in nvim.

Currently, codecompanion focuses primarily on single-file context through commands like /buffer, /file, or /symbols. It can be tedious when asking codecompanion to assist with code that depends on other parts of the project. According to https://zed.dev/blog/zed-ai#tools-for-efficiently-crafting-contexts, Zed is planning to provide a new command /project to feed project information to the LLMs and aider also have their https://aider.chat/docs/repomap.html algorithm. It will be huge gain if codecompanion can have similar functions.

I disagree and you should look into workspaces as they were built to solve these challenges - "Instead of dumping files linearly, we built a context-aware grouping system"

And then there's Vectorcode. That potentially saves you the effort of having to even write a workspace file...

Didn't aware of the workspace feature and vectorcode, thanks for the instruction!

Yes you can use VectorCode to generate a workspace. it's not like aider:

• Aider I believe use Treesitter and graph algorithm so it's efficient and precise at describing context
• VectorCode requires heavy ressources. 20/30 s on my beefed CPU (no GPU acceleration) on a small repo.
• RAG are not that precise, as any LLMs they generate text which can be true or not, exhaustive or not etc. They're best used to just add context when required in a prompt. To generate a description of an entire project they might lack in speed and precision I believe.
  What are you thoughts @olimorris on that. Am I right ?
