Our take

The repo contains two things: a legacy Claude Code plugin that spawns Sonnet subagents to write a codebase map, and a newer v2 Bun CLI with MCP wrapper that indexes repos into SQLite. The subagent workflow can use significant tokens, and it requires tiktoken. The README says MIT, but GitHub metadata shows no license, and some eval scripts reference author-specific local paths.
