I just found another really nice usecase for coding agents. I was missing a feature in the window tiling gnome extension I use. Instead of going through all the docs and issues on github, I just downloaded the source code and asked the agent if the feature exists.

Asking questions of a local checkout is a handy trick, it beats skimming issues for a feature that may not exist. Did the agent point you to the relevant code, or just say yes or no?

It described two features that were close to what I was looking for and explained how to use them. Exactly what I needed.
