WHAT IT DOES
What does it do?
Sonde indexes TypeScript, Python, or Swift repositories into a SQLite-based symbol graph. Its find_symbols, query_graph, and get_impact_radius MCP tools let users inspect call relationships, the scope of a change, and related tests. It trims results to a token budget and can generate ARCHITECTURE.md from the graph.
KEY FEATURES
Key features
- Index TypeScript, Python, and Swift repositories as symbol-level graphs
- Store the code graph in SQLite
- Provide MCP tools for symbol search, graph queries, and change impact
- Retrieve call relationships and related tests in a single call
- Structure results to fit a specified token budget
- Generate ARCHITECTURE.md from the code graph
EDITOR'S NOTE
Why did it stand out?
Rather than overclaiming that it replaces search, it focuses on reducing the calls and context needed to answer structural questions within a budget. Its stated limits, including behavioral questions it does not handle well, are compelling.
