Codebase Indexer: A Navigation Layer for AI-Assisted Code Reasoning
AI coding systems frequently lack persistent structural understanding of repositories. They can generate code. They struggle to reason about a codebase they didn’t write. This project built a system that gives a local LLM a structural map of any Python repository — before it touches a single line of code. The Problem Large codebases are opaque. You can read files sequentially, but you can’t reason about dependency structure, identify which modules are most central, or understand what a change to one function propagates to — not without analysis tooling. ...
