grepai
by yoanbernabeu
Privacy-first semantic code search CLI that reduces AI agent input tokens by providing relevant context instead of raw results.
What it does
grepai provides semantic code search for AI agents and developers, allowing queries based on meaning rather than exact text matches. It helps AI agents drastically reduce token usage by retrieving only the most relevant code snippets for a given task.
Tools
search: Perform semantic search for code based on natural language intent.trace: Trace call graphs to identify who calls a specific function.init: Initialize the semantic index in a project directory.watch: Start a daemon to keep the codebase index up-to-date automatically.
