Sense
Plugs a symbol graph and semantic search into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client so your AI stops reading 19 files to answer "who calls this function?" Exposes four tools: sense_graph for caller/callee lookups and dead code detection, sense_search for hybrid semantic search with keyword fallback, sense_blast for dependency impact analysis, and sense_conventions for project style patterns extracted from your actual code. Runs locally with tree-sitter parsing and a bundled ONNX embedding model. One scan builds a .sense/ SQLite index, then queries resolve in under 3ms. The benchmarks show 47% fewer tool calls and 32% lower token usage on structural tasks across seven codebases. Reach for this when your agent burns tokens chasing grep chains or hallucinates dependencies that don't exist.
