Coding agents waste too much context before they understand a repo.
They grep around the codebase, read large chunks, and make guesses. SIFS gives them fast local search.
It runs as a CLI or MCP server. The default mode is hybrid search: BM25/semantic retrieval.
Current benchmark:
63 large repos
19 languages
1,251 annotated search tasks
index: 6.5 ms
search: 0.376 ms
SIFS is ahead of any comparable tool on this benchmark.
Very open to feedback and issues/PRs! Let me know if you try it.
