A solo founder has developed a workflow using Claude Code to manage an 80,000-file monorepo, overcoming the significant cognitive load typically associated with such large codebases. This system involves generating a dependency map of the repository, which Claude Code then uses to understand package relationships and boundary rules. The AI assists in locating the correct package for new code and planning changes that respect the dependency graph, thereby preventing common monorepo errors and reducing the need for extensive manual oversight.
