Ix builds a persistent symbol graph of your codebase across 26 languages for humans and AI
tom_doerr · x · 2026-09-08
Ix is an open-source CLI (800+ GitHub stars) that turns any codebase into a queryable map. It parses repositories with tree-sitter across 26 languages and builds a persistent graph of symbols, calls, and imports, stored in a local ArangoDB backend run via Docker.
Both humans and AI assistants can then ask bounded structural questions (e.g. ix map .) instead of grepping and guessing—positioned as a "context saver and virtual cartographer" for codebases.
