The Practical Guide to Reverse Engineering XXL Codebases with Agentic AI

Details

If you thought ‘infinite context’ windows can effortlessly swallow your enterprise monolith, then think again. This session shatters the illusion of massive prompt windows and introduces a practical, distributed-systems approach to AI context management. Discover the exact framework used to orchestrate an army of specialised, tool-driven subagents that can successfully map out and reverse-engineer 10,000+ file XXL codebases without ever hitting the context wall.

Harshad Nawathe will take you through how these specialised agents divide and coordinate the work, progressively build an understanding of a large codebase, and turn an otherwise overwhelming reverse-engineering problem into a structured, scalable process. The session will also explore the architectural choices that make this approach work in practice, and where the real challenges emerge when AI agents tackle enterprise-scale systems.

What you’ll learn:

• How to manage AI context when working with massive enterprise codebases
• How specialised, tool-driven subagents can divide and coordinate reverse-engineering work
• A practical framework for mapping and understanding 10,000+ file XXL codebases
• The architectural patterns that make multi-agent context management scalable
• What it takes to move beyond a single agent trying to understand an entire codebase at once
