sverklo

Overview

Sverklo gives AI coding agents real code understanding through symbol graphs, blast-radius analysis, and git-pinned memory, preventing hallucinations on large repositories. It offers 43× fewer input tokens than naive grep while maintaining accuracy with published benchmarks. The tool runs locally with no cloud uploads and integrates seamlessly with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Zed through the MCP protocol.

FAQ

How does Sverklo reduce hallucinations?

Sverklo provides real symbol graphs, blast-radius analysis, and git-pinned memory that give AI agents accurate understanding of your codebase instead of pattern-matching from training data.

Is Sverklo secure?

Yes, Sverklo runs locally with no cloud uploads and your code never leaves the machine. The embedding model is cached locally after first download.
