How is symbol-awareness different?

It tracks definitions and references across files, so when the agent changes something it understands every place that depends on it.

When does indexing happen?

When you connect a repository. The agent indexes the codebase up front so it has context before making any edits.

Does indexing change my code?

No. Indexing only builds an understanding of your repository. Changes are made separately, in a sandbox clone, and delivered as a pull request.

Indexing that is semantic and symbol-aware

Before it edits, the agent indexes your codebase both by meaning and by symbol — so it finds the right function, follows references, and changes the code that actually matters.

semantic search + symbol graph

What you get

Built to be trusted

Good edits depend on understanding the codebase first. code-anything builds two complementary views of your repository: a semantic index that captures what the code does, and a symbol-aware index that tracks definitions and references. Together they let the agent find the right place to change and understand what that change touches.

SEMANTIC

Search by meaning

The agent can find the code responsible for a behavior even when you do not know the file or function name.

SYMBOL-AWARE

Follows references

Definitions and usages are tracked across files, so the agent sees what a change affects before it makes it.

IN CONTEXT

Fits your codebase

Edits follow the patterns already in your repo instead of bolting on code that ignores how things are done.

In practice

A real flow, end to end

Ask in plain language and the index points to the exact code, plus everywhere it is used — so an edit can account for the whole picture.

Terminal

$ find "where do we calculate the cart total?"

Semantic match → lib/cart/pricing.ts · calcTotal()
Symbol graph → 3 call sites across 2 files
→ Ready to edit with full reference context.

Why indexing matters

Semantic indexing lets you describe behavior instead of needing to remember file or function names.
Symbol-aware indexing tracks definitions and references, so the agent knows what a change will ripple into.
Together they keep edits scoped and consistent with the conventions already in your codebase.
Indexing runs when you connect a repo, so the agent has context before it proposes any change.

FAQ

Common questions

It lets the agent find code by what it does, not just by exact names — so you can ask "where is the cart total calculated" and get the right place.
