Save Tokens with code-review-graph: Smart Codebase Mapping for Claude Code
dr_cintas · x · 2026-08-03
AI coding workflows often suffer from massive token waste when models reread the entire codebase after every minor edit. An open-source tool called code-review-graph aims to fix this.
It automatically maps files, functions, and dependencies. Once configured, it traces exactly what is affected by a change—such as callers and tests—so the AI only reads the necessary context instead of the whole repository. According to the author, a task that previously burned 100,000 tokens (about $1) can now run for closer to a penny.
