Latest projects built with tree-sitter
- Vex (Vex's Skillgit) — Ingests code repositories into versioned, AST-chunked context that AI agents query in real time over MCP.“I built a background skill manager that treats agent memory like Git (AST-aware, MCP-ready, potato-PC friendly).”
- Snor — Provides a native Windows IDE that shows up to four live terminal panes side by side so multiple coding agents can be watched at once.“Snor — a lightweight native IDE in Rust for running coding agents side by side (open sourced today)”
- Telex — Automatically analyzes breaking dependency API changes, generates a code patch, runs tests and typechecks, and opens a GitHub pull request.“I built an open-source AI agent that automatically fixes breaking dependency changes”
- poly — Lints and formats files across many programming languages in one binary, and runs pre-commit-style hooks natively.“poly - a linter and formatter for polyglot repos, 21,657 Kubernetes files in 6.8s”
- Heimdall — Maintains a code knowledge graph for coding agents, injecting prior work into session prompts and returning search hits with verified trust ratings.“CPU Only Agent Memory System”
- gitnebula — Renders a git repository as an interactive force-directed architecture map of modules, files, dependency edges and git history signals.“gitnebula — interactive architecture map of any git repo, fully offline (MIT). Built by a team of agents in my own orchestration harness.”
- i built a roblox game with… — Gives a coding agent exact syntax-tree slices of code instead of whole files to reduce tokens consumed.“i built a roblox game with claude code plus my own token-reduction tool, and tracked what it saved the entire way (2.1M tokens)”
- Vast — Analyzes GitHub repositories to show the downstream impact of a code change before it is committed, including dependency graphs, cycles and overloaded modules.“Launched my SaaS beta today - impact analysis for AI-generated code”
- Xberg — Extracts and prepares text and structure from documents, code and data files, audio and video transcripts, and URLs for downstream processing.“Xberg v1 is out”
- mex — Maintains a Markdown wiki inside a code repo and builds a local code graph so agents can load only the relevant symbols and knowledge.“My Claude Code kept rereading the same repo instead of preserving what it learned, so I built an open-source fix. 1,200 stars later, the new version used 90% less tokens than grep while still finding every expected symbol.”
- Invisio — Parses codebases into a Neo4j graph of classes, functions, calls and imports, then answers structural questions and triages CodeQL alerts into automated fix PRs.“A Question”
- codebase-vis — Parses source code with tree-sitter and produces an interactive dependency graph as a self-contained HTML file.“I got tired of guessing how my codebase fit together, so I built a CLI that draws real AST-based dependency maps (works for 6 languages)”
- RepoFold — Generates a code wiki from a GitHub repo where every technical claim cites exact file and line numbers, and updates only affected pages on new commits.“I got tired of documentation that lies, so I made docs that have to prove every sentence”
- Graphenium — Blocks AI coding agents from making forbidden cross-file dependencies by checking planned edits against the repository's architecture graph before files are written.“I built a local a tool to stop Claude Code from breaking my architecture”
- Fathom — Finds direct callers of symbols changed in a git diff and generates a static HTML report with a merge verdict, build-break findings, and dead code.“Tired of grepping your way through every PR review?”

- Decypher — Builds a deep semantic code graph using language compilers so AI agents can trace data flow, branches and returns for bug and security analysis.“Decypher: A deep semantic code graph for Agentic Coding and Engineering”
