RepoBrain is a local-first codebase memory engine for AI coding assistants. It indexes repositories, retrieves grounded evidence, traces logic flows, and ranks the safest files to inspect or edit before code generation.

RepoBrain is a local-first AI codebase analyst that indexes repositories locally, retrieves evidence-backed information, traces flows, and ranks edit targets without requiring a hosted backend. It helps coding agents understand code context before making edits, reducing the risk of bad changes.

    Local-first means your code stays on your machine — important for proprietary projects.
