Finding the file

About this chapter
You will learn
- Everything read goes into the context
- Search shows only the matching lines
- Fewer tokens, same fix
Words you’ll meet
- Search
- A tool that returns only the lines holding some words, and which files they are in.
- Context
- Everything the agent has been shown so far, which it reads again each turn.
- Token
- The unit a model reads text in: here, about four bytes of code.
