I'm wonder though:

1. Why does AI need that folder structure? Why not a flat list of files and let the AI agent explore with BM25 / grep, etc.

2. pre-compute compression vs compute at query time.

Kaparthy (and you) are recommending pre-compressing and sorting based on hard coded human abstraction opinions that may match how the data might be queried into human-friendly buckets and language.

Why not just let the AI calculate this at run time? Many of these use cases have very few files and for a low traffic knowledge store, it probably costs less tokens if you only tokenize the files you need.
