OP here. I built RepoReaper to solve code context fragmentation in RAG.Unlike standard chat-with-repo tools, it simulates a senior engineer's workflow: it parses Python AST for logic-aware chunking, uses a ReAct loop to JIT-fetch missing file dependencies from GitHub, and employs hybrid search (BM25+Vector). It also generates Mermaid diagrams for architecture visualization. The backend is fully async and persists state via ChromaDB.Link: https://github.com/tzzp1224/RepoReaper

Could you build this?
Yes Building an AST-based chunker in Python combined with a standard ReAct loop and hybrid search (BM25 + embeddings) using off-the-shelf libraries is a textbook vibe-coding task.
