A few years ago I set out to refactor some of my team's code that I wasn't particularly familiar with, but we wanted to modularize and re-use in more places. The primary file alone was 18k+ lines of Typescript that was a terrible mess of spaghetti. Most of it had been written in JavaScript but later converted haphazardly. I ended up writing myself a little app that used the Typescript compiler APIs to help me just explore all the many branches of the code and annotate how I would refactor different parts. It helped a bit, but I never got time to add some of the more intelligent features I wanted like finding every execution path between two points.
you say "local-first" but have placed voyage API for embeddings as the default (had to go to the website and dig to find that you can infact use local embedding models). Please fix
Perhaps I am missing something, but this seems to require a Lemon (LLM)? Is the idea that the Lemon is used to help build an index AOT that can be queried locally, after?
I want to figure out how to build advanced tools, potentially by leveraging Lemons to iterate quickly, that allow us all to rely _less_ on Lemons, but still get 10,20,30x efficiency gains when building software, without needing to battle the ethics of it all.
Might give this a try to experiment if it's really free to use (I'll have to read up on that I guess). The qemu codebase is huge and every contributer seems to solve problems in slightly different ways. Would be nice if this tool could help distill it.
Is there a way to have the model inside of codex to make use of chunkhound instead of its “built in” search/explore functionality with rg? Whenever I spin up a new agent using xhigh thinking it spins its wheels for a while to get up to speed — wondering if chunkhound can make this process faster.
Can you please expose the functionality as a self-documenting CLI command with machine readable output? (Or did I misunderstand that MCP isn't the only way to use it?)
I am curious to try it but do not want to adopt MCP servers.
Telling Claude to call the CLI tool is more efficient.
Is there a prompt special sauce y’all use to get it to use it?

You have every ability to make these modifications yourself; is there a reason you feel the need to require the creator to do so?
