System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of wasting tokens and time when exploring large codebases by repeatedly scanning whole files to find specific functions, classes, or constants.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured code indexing with tree-sitter: Builds an AST-based index once so symbol lookups are fast and precise.
  • Token-efficient symbol retrieval: Returns exact implementations (rather than broad file snippets), targeting major token savings for code reading.
  • Context assembly under a token budget: Orchestrates the right tool sequence to produce ranked, task-relevant context for bug fixing, refactoring, or understanding unfamiliar systems.

Example: An engineer needs to fix an auth-related bug but doesn’t know where the correct implementation lives; they can search by symbol name, fetch the exact function body, then retrieve references and blast radius before making changes.

Quick Start

Ask your AI client to index your repository and then return the exact implementation of the symbol you care about within a specified token budget.
