I tried to run it on a larger codebase, and keep getting token limit exceeded issue: The input token count (1069372) exceeds the maximum number of tokens allowed . Is there any way around this?
I absolutely love this two-step approach of “The Eagle’s View” followed by “The Deep Dive”—it’s not only intuitive, but also deeply aligned with how our brains naturally want to process complex systems like a codebase. Starting with the big picture gives you a cognitive anchor, and only then zooming into the details ensures context isn’t lost along the way. It’s such a powerful way to learn and retain information, especially in programming where it’s easy to get lost in the weeds.
This reminds me of how great educators teach—not by overwhelming you upfront, but by giving you a mental framework first, then layering on understanding. Truly effective and elegant.
I’m curious—have you come across any books or resources that explicitly teach this kind of thinking process or methodology? I’d love to explore more about where this learning model comes from or how to apply it more broadly.
Looking forward to it! I’d love to see your take on design models, thinking frameworks, and how they influence the way we read and understand code. Your insights are always super practical and grounded in real experience—can’t wait for the next post!
THIS IS SERIOUSLY GOLD NUGGET! No flattery, clean and a Masterpiece of work! Amazing!
Donated a support to Pocketflow team!
Thank you so much!! I don't need financial support. Your engagement means much more!

Does the solution from this issue help: https://github.com/The-Pocket/PocketFlow-Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge/issues/23
This is amazing write up! Thanks for sharing this :) I love the simplicity in everything!
Thank you!!

Thank you! Yeah, just picked it up from experience.
Will post about useful design models in the future!

Amazing, so much better than llms.txt! Human and Ai readable!
Thank you!
love this Zachary, thanks for writing this and for building pocketflow; truly impressive work
Thank you!!
