Building a context layer first helped a team rebuild a FedEx supplier platform in 3.5 months

The post argues that "AI doesn't work on our codebase" is usually a context problem, not a model problem.
- One team rebuilt a FedEx supplier delivery platform in 3.5 months after first scanning the entire repo into a knowledge graph covering modules, dependencies, data flows, and domain terms.
- Their workflow was:
- define scope and constraints
- write a technical spec
- plan the implementation
- let the agent code while an engineer reviews
- test against the spec
- update the knowledge graph
- Nothing merged unless an engineer could verify, explain, and debug it without the agent.
The core claim: agentic coding works much better once teams build a context layer first.
