Code-Search

Modern coding agents default to grep-and-read when they touch a new repo. That choice is expensive, slow, and produces brittle edits. A new wave of zero-dependency C++ tools is replacing that loop with a ranked, deterministic call graph — and the economics of AI-assisted coding shift with them.

Coding agents spend most of their budget on file and symbol discovery, not on actual reasoning. Here is how precomputed context graphs change that, and why it matters for every team shipping agentic dev tools.
