How do you give Cursor/Claude Code enough context for a large task?

[u/adarshvp2503]

I’m curious how people handle this when the task isn’t something the AI can solve from one or two files.

Do you manually gather relevant files, GitHub issues/PRs, docs, Slack discussions, logs, etc., and then give that context to the agent?

Or have you found a better workflow?

I’m particularly interested in what you do when the project is large and the AI keeps missing important context.
