tokensave_context is the call that replaces a round of exploration: entry points, related symbols and snippets arrive together instead of after a dozen greps. Branch-aware queries matter more than they sound on a repository with long-lived branches, since "who calls this" has a different answer depending on where you are standing. Worth knowing before you install — setup writes agent configuration and, for one client, hooks that block exploratory sub-agents and redirect symbol-shaped greps into these tools.
A Rust binary that indexes a repository into a local symbol graph and answers structural questions about it — what calls what, what breaks if you change this, where the complexity sits — in single calls rather than a round of file reads.
- tokensave_context — entry points, related symbols and code snippets for a task, gathered in one call instead of a dozen searches
- Navigate the graph — tokensave_callers, tokensave_callees, tokensave_affected for blast radius, and tokensave_annotations
- Search across the index rather than across files, with results that know what a symbol is rather than only where the text matched
- Branch-aware queries — tokensave_branch_list, tokensave_branch_diff and tokensave_branch_search, so a question can be asked about the branch you are on
- Three build tiers chosen at install: the default covers more than fifty languages, medium and lite trade coverage for a smaller binary
- Tokensave install writes the MCP configuration for the agent you name — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cline, OpenCode, Kiro, Kimi, Antigravity, AugmentCode, Factory Droid, Kilo and Pi — or auto-detects what is on the machine
A local checkout to index. Everything runs on your machine with no service behind it and no account. Install with brew, scoop, or cargo install tokensave — cargo also takes feature flags for the medium and lite tiers — or take a prebuilt bundle from the releases for macOS, Linux or Windows, each published with a checksum. Registration writes agent configuration and, for one client, hooks as well.
One command — brew install aovestdipaperino/tap/tokensave
