Mantic.sh

What it does

Mantic.sh is an infrastructure layer that provides AI agents with a deep understanding of a codebase's structure. Unlike grep or ripgrep, it uses semantic reranking and structural analysis to find the most relevant files based on intent, significantly reducing token overhead by filtering out irrelevant content before it reaches the LLM.

Tools

• search_files: Primary search with optional neural reranking for conceptually relevant code.
• get_definition: Navigates directly to the definition of a specific symbol across the repo.
• find_references: Locates all usages of a symbol while respecting .gitignore.
• get_context: Zero-query mode that proactively surfaces modified files and dependency impact.
• session_start/end: Manages persistent coding sessions to carry over context.
