Not really, repo map only gives LLMs an overview of the codebase, but aider doesn't automatically bring files into the context - you have to explicitly add the files you wish for it to see in their entirety to the context. Claude Code/Codex and most other tools do this automatically, that's why they're much more autonomous.


Aider regularly asks me the authorization to access files that I didn't explicitly add.


(This happens when the LLM mentions them.)
