I love using agents for analyzing codebases for me. My prior pattern of `grep` and manual skimming has been fully replaced with agents. I ask it to list sources and line numbers and then I go in and verify for myself (never blind trust). Examples:

- https://ampcode.com/threads/T-f02e59f8-e474-493d-9558-11fddf823672?q=tmux
- https://ampcode.com/threads/T-dbf44464-1708-4d71-b525-f013f06f398c?q=tmux
- https://ampcode.com/threads/T-9670685d-b520-4b5d-a021-d1c5e7c74fa5?q=tmux

Total cost of all of them: less than $2. Gives me a huge jump start on researching things.
