One of the best parts of building in public?
People challenge your assumptions.
Conversations about ownership, freshness, and navigation have changed how I think about repository intelligence.
The product keeps evolving.

SigMap didn't start with a repository map.
It started with a frustration.
I kept watching AI agents spend their first few turns searching instead of solving.
That made me wonder:
What if navigation became a first-class capability?

The biggest lesson so far?
Repository intelligence isn't about replacing AI.
It's about reducing uncertainty before the model starts reasoning.
Better context.
Better decisions.

A repository map is only useful if it's current.
That's why I'm exploring incremental updates instead of rebuilding everything after each change.
Freshness is part of correctness.

One of the hardest design decisions:
Keep adding information…
or remove everything that doesn't help.
I chose less.
Signal beats volume.

One surprise while benchmarking:
Large repositories weren't always harder.
Well-organized repositories often outperformed much smaller ones.
Structure matters.
Sometimes more than size.

One of the earliest failures?
Treating repositories like folders.
They're not.
They're graphs.
Once I started thinking in relationships instead of directories, everything changed.

My first assumption was:
"Bigger context windows will solve this."
They didn't.
The issue wasn't fitting more code into context.
It was finding the right code in the first place.
