Discussion

20 comments analyzed.

Competitors mentioned: Obsidian, AgisHub, Repowise, LSP (Language Server Protocol)

Concerns raised: README written entirely by LLM without human review/editing, Benchmark methodology unclear - arbitrary sample sizes (9, 20, 36, 50), selection bias, only 1 run with p-value of 0.22, Graph pre-filling context may reinforce hallucinations and create bias toward existing information, Claims not supported by evidence - seed, questions, and results not published

Feature requests: Hooks to manage codebase context across sessions (CLAUDE.md approach), Support for different sized project directories via mount binding
