Internals of Claude Code LLM
LLMs can increase context window by:
- chunking
- indexing
- iterating
Claude builds a mental index (not a full snapshot) of the code base by:
- summarizing files
- extract symbols (functions, classes, APIs)
- keeps compressed representations instead of raw code
- e.g. “There is a `UserService` that validates auth tokens and calls `BillingClient`”
Claude rereads the code file when needed
Claude Code is like “A very fast engineer who can only have 200k tokens open on their desk, but can walk back to the bookshelf unlimited times”
