What it does
ChunkHound provides local-first codebase intelligence, enabling AI assistants to research and understand complex codebases at scale. It extracts architecture, patterns, and institutional knowledge without sending your code to the cloud.
Tools
- Semantic Search: Find code using natural language queries like "find authentication logic".
- Regex Search: Perform pattern matching across the codebase without requiring API keys.
- Code Research: Automated extraction of codebase architecture and relationships using the research-backed cAST algorithm.
- Multi-Hop Search: Discovers interconnected code relationships beyond simple direct matches.

uv tool install chunkhound
