Validate activity before betting a new project on llm-books. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## When NOT to use repomix - Avoid using Repomix if your project primarily involves non-code assets or when the repository structure is not intended to be consumed by AI tools, as it may introduce unnecessary complexity. - Do not use Repomix in scenarios where real-time interaction with LLMs is required; its utility lies more in pre-processing than real-time interactions. - Opt out of Repomix if you prefer custom integration methods over automated repository consolidation, as Repomix might limit flexibility in how files are presented to AI tools. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between llm-books and repomix? llm-books: Notes on practical application development using LLM. repomix: Powerful repository packager for AI integration.
