Makes sense.

I treat an LLM the same way I'd treat myself as it relates to context and goals when working with code.

"If I need to do __________ what do I need to know/see?"

I find that traditional tools, as per the OP, have become ever more powerful and useful in the age of LLMs (especially grep).

Furthermore, LLMs are quite good at working with shell tools and functionalities (heredoc, grep, sed, etc.).
