Features

01Opt-in cross-encoder reranking for enhanced query-candidate scoring.
02Supports 65+ languages (61 with tree-sitter parsing) via a single static binary.
03Built-in code intelligence, including call graph analysis, reference finding, and dead code detection.
04Token-efficient output, returning symbol-bounded chunks instead of entire files, ideal for AI agents.
05Runs entirely locally on CPU, with optional GPU acceleration for various hardware.

Use cases

↳Semantic code search across projects to find relevant logic or patterns.
↳Structural code analysis, such as finding routes, environment variables, or interface implementations.
↳Identifying code references, including callers, callees, or usages of a specific function/variable.
↳Detecting dead code within a project to improve codebase health.
↳Integrating as a skill for AI coding agents to enhance their understanding and interaction with codebases.

rutis★ 149
A plugin runtime for software that iterates on itself — the substrate where agents write, swap and hot-reload their own plugins in Rust, TypeScript, Python and Go, across processes and machines.

xgrep logo
xgrep★ 20
Ultra-fast indexed code search engine — faster than ripgrep on repeated searches, lighter than zoekt. Built-in MCP server for AI agents. Also does fast file finding (fd/find alternative).

Benzi★ 169
Benzi is AI-native code intelligence infrastructure. Claude Code greps; Cursor embeds; Aider maps signatures; Benzi resolves — and answers in O(1). Every language runs its own tree-sitter grammar into the same query map.
