Better Context feeds library source code to AI agents
Better Context (btca) is a CLI tool and framework that provides AI coding agents with high-signal context by querying actual library source code directly rather than relying on potentially outdated documentation. By bypassing the "knowledge cutoff" of modern LLMs, it ensures that agents have the most accurate and up-to-date technical information available, grounding their responses in the actual implementation files of the libraries being used.
// ANALYSIS
Better Context is a vital bridge for the "vibe coding" era, solving the persistent problem of AI agents hallucinating based on stale documentation or training data.
- –Operates as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing seamless integration with AI-native IDEs like Cursor and agents like Claude Code.
- –Prioritizes source code as the single source of truth, effectively eliminating bugs caused by recent API drift in fast-moving ecosystems like Svelte and Effect.
- –Enables agents to discover internal logic, edge cases, and private APIs that are frequently omitted from high-level documentation.
- –Developed by Ben Davis, a prominent figure in the TypeScript community, the tool is optimized for developers who need deep, accurate context without manual copy-pasting.
