Q: Which is better, guild or better-code-review-graph?

By GitHub stars, guild has more community adoption, but the best choice depends on your specific use case.

guild: guild is a compiled Go binary with an MCP server backed by embedded SQLite, providing shared context, memory, and task coordination for AI coding agents. It allows multiple agents across different editors to share state safely using atomic locks. State persists locally and includes hybrid search (BM25+vector).; better-code-review-graph: A fork of code-review-graph with critical bug fixes, configurable ONNX or cloud embeddings, and qualified call resolution. Parses codebases with Tree-sitter, builds a structural graph, and provides token-optimized context for AI-assisted code reviews.
