jsat 0.2.7

Codebase intelligence shell and SDK — index once, query forever, works with Claude, GPT, Ollama, and any AI

JSAT — JaySoft AI Tools

Codebase intelligence for AI sessions — index once, query forever, works with any AI.

---

What is JSAT?

Every AI session starts with the same problem: you spend the first ten minutes re-explaining your architecture, re-pasting function signatures, and re-describing how services talk to each other. JSAT solves this by building a persistent graph of your codebase once — functions, classes, files, services, API endpoints, database tables, Kafka topics, and every relationship between them — and making that context instantly available to any AI you use.

JSAT works as a CLI, a Python SDK, and an MCP server that plugs directly into Claude Code. If Claude Code CLI is installed, JSAT uses it automatically with no API key required. For everything else — Anthropic API, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, LM Studio — one command switches the provider.

---

Quick Start

pip install jsat

# Index your project
cd your-project/
jsat index .

# Open your AI tool with JSAT pre-loaded (auto-connects on first use)
jsat claude      # Claude Code
jsat codex       # OpenAI Codex CLI
jsat cursor      # Cursor IDE
jsat windsurf    # Windsurf
jsat gemini      # Google Gemini CLI
jsat zed         # Zed editor

Inside any connected tool you can use JSAT commands:

Claude Code slash commands:

/jsat-query what does the payment service do?
/jsat-blast-radius src/payment/refund.py
/jsat-security
/jsat-incident "500 errors spiking on checkout"
/jsat-prompt-rewrite fix logger in ValidateVPAHandler.post

Continue.dev custom commands (same 28 commands, /jsat-* prefix)

All tools have 55 JSAT MCP tools the AI can call automatically — no slash commands needed.

---

Installation

JSAT ships as a minimal core with optional extras. Install only what you need.

Extra	What's added	Approx. size	When to use
(none) / core	tree-sitter parsers, SQLite graph, CLI	~80 MB	Starting point for any setup
local	Ollama client	+small	Local models via Ollama
standard	Semgrep, OpenAPI/AsyncAPI validator, more language parsers (Java, Ruby, Rust)	+medium	Security reviews, API contract checks
team	Neo4j, Qdrant, Redis, Graphiti (includes standard)	+large	Shared graph across a team
anthropic	Anthropic Python SDK	+small	Claude API (key required)
openai	OpenAI Python SDK	+small	GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini (key required)
ci	PyGitHub, SARIF tools (includes standard)	+small	CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions
all	Everything above	+large	Full feature set

pip install jsat                   # core only
pip install 'jsat[local]'          # + Ollama
pip install 'jsat[standard]'       # + security analysis, OpenAPI validation
pip install 'jsat[team]'           # + Neo4j, Qdrant, Redis
pip install 'jsat[anthropic]'      # + Claude API SDK
pip install 'jsat[openai]'         # + OpenAI SDK
pip install 'jsat[all]'            # everything

---

AI Providers

JSAT auto-detects available providers at startup and picks the best one in priority order:

1. Claude Code CLI — detected via which claude; no API key, no extra SDK, full tool calling
2. Anthropic API — if ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set and jsat[anthropic] is installed
3. OpenAI — if OPENAI_API_KEY is set and jsat[openai] is installed
4. Ollama — if ollama serve is running at localhost:11434
5. LM Studio — if an OpenAI-compatible server is running at localhost:1234
6. No AI — tools that don't need AI (indexing, blast radius, export) still work

Check what's available

jsat ai status        # shows all providers, which is active, and switch commands

Switch providers

jsat ai use ollama                        # free, local, no key
jsat ai use ollama --model qwen2.5-coder:7b
jsat ai use anthropic                     # needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
jsat ai use openai --model gpt-4o-mini    # needs OPENAI_API_KEY
jsat ai use lmstudio                      # any OpenAI-compat server at localhost:1234
jsat ai test                              # verify the configured provider works

Switch inside the JSAT shell

switch claude    → Claude Code CLI (no key) or Claude API
switch gpt       → GPT-4o
switch ollama    → local Ollama
switch haiku     → Claude Haiku
switch phi       → phi3:mini (fast, low RAM)
switch lmstudio  → LM Studio

AI Tool Integration

JSAT works as an MCP server with any AI tool that supports the Model Context Protocol. One command wires it in — the tool picks up all 55 JSAT tools automatically.

Connect

jsat connect claude                        # Claude Code — project scope
jsat connect claude --scope global         # Claude Code — all sessions
jsat connect codex                         # OpenAI Codex CLI — project scope
jsat connect codex --scope global          # OpenAI Codex CLI — global
jsat connect cursor                        # Cursor
jsat connect windsurf                      # Windsurf (Codeium)
jsat connect continue                      # Continue.dev
jsat connect zed                           # Zed editor
jsat connect gemini                        # Google Gemini CLI

jsat connect list                          # show every active connection

Restart the AI tool after connecting. JSAT's 55 MCP tools are immediately available.

Files written per tool

Each connect command writes both an MCP config and a guidance file so the AI knows what JSAT tools exist and when to use them — without being asked.

Tool	MCP config	Guidance file	Guidance format
Claude Code (project)	.claude/settings.json	.claude/commands/jsat-*.md (28 files)	Slash commands
Claude Code (global)	~/.claude/settings.json	~/.claude/commands/jsat-*.md	Slash commands
Codex (project)	.codex/config.json	.codex/instructions.md	Agent instructions
Codex (global)	~/.codex/config.json	~/.codex/instructions.md	Agent instructions
Cursor	~/.cursor/mcp.json	—	—
Windsurf	~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json	.windsurfrules	Rules file
Continue	~/.continue/config.json	10 /jsat-* custom commands	Slash commands
Zed	~/.config/zed/settings.json	.zed/JSAT.md	Project context
Gemini CLI	~/.gemini/settings.json	GEMINI.md	Project instructions

Pass --no-instructions to skip writing the guidance file (MCP only).

Prompt Optimizer

JSAT optimizes every query through a two-phase pipeline before sending to the AI.

Phase 1 — Offline pipeline (always runs, zero LLM calls)

jsat prompt "improve the retry logic"              # inspect optimized prompt
jsat prompt --send "improve the retry logic"       # optimize + send
jsat prompt --diff "improve the retry logic"       # see raw vs optimized side by side
jsat prompt --send --format code --ai claude "write a test for refund()"

Stage	What it does
Classify	Keyword-match task type: code_gen / refactor / debug / test / security / …
Context	BFS graph traversal — injects relevant function signatures and call chains
Constraints	KB lookup — injects project ADRs and coding standards (top-3 only)
Few-shot	kNN over prompt history — injects the most similar past examples
Format	Provider-aware: XML for Claude, Markdown for GPT, plain for Ollama
Compress	Token pruning when prompt exceeds 4000 tokens

Phase 2 — LLM rewriting (optional, activated with a flag)

After the offline pipeline structures the prompt, 1–3 specialist LLM agents rewrite the task description from different angles, then the best result is selected by a coverage + specificity scorer.

# 1 agent — fastest, rewrites for clarity and precision
jsat prompt --rewrite "fix logger in this branch"

# 3 agents in parallel — picks the best rewrite
jsat prompt --agents "fix logger in this branch"

# Combine with --send to optimize + rewrite + send in one step
jsat prompt --agents --send "fix logger in ValidateVPAHandler.post"

The 3 LLM agents:

Agent	Temperature	Focus
rewrite	0.2	Replaces vague words with specific identifiers from context
context_expand	0.3	Fills missing technical detail (function names, error messages, paths)
constraint_harden	0.1	Makes success criteria measurable ("ensure X returns Y when Z")

Agents run in parallel. Winner is chosen by: coverage × 0.45 + specificity × 0.40 + efficiency × 0.15.

Example output with --agents --verbose:

┌─────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
│ Task type           │ debug                        │
│ Context nodes       │ 3                            │
│ Tokens before       │ 6                            │
│ Tokens after        │ 847                          │
│ Rewrite agents run  │ 3                            │
│ Winner              │ context_expand               │
│ Rewrite time        │ 1843ms                       │
└─────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘

✦ 6→847 tokens | Task: debug | 3 agents → context_expand won

In the shell — every message is auto-optimized through Phase 1:

jsat [Claude Code (CLI)]> improve the retry logic

✦ Optimized refactor | 6→847 tokens (35% saved) | 3 ctx nodes | opt show to see diff

Claude: Here's the improved retry using tenacity...

Shell commands:

opt on        # enable auto-optimization (default)
opt off       # disable for the current session
opt show      # show raw input vs full optimized prompt side by side
opt history   # browse past optimization diffs

MCP tools:

• jsat__prompt_optimize — offline pipeline only
• jsat__prompt_rewrite — offline + 1 LLM rewrite agent
• jsat__prompt_multi_agent — offline + up to 3 parallel LLM agents

Claude Code slash command:

/jsat-prompt-rewrite fix the logger missing extra= dict in ValidateVPAHandler.post

Disconnect or remove

jsat disconnect claude --scope all            # Claude Code everywhere
jsat disconnect all                           # every connected tool at once

Tools Overview

#	Tool	Description
0	JSAT Shell	Interactive REPL — run any tool directly, switch AI mid-session, no AI required
1	Directory Indexer	Parallel tree-sitter parsing (4–8× faster), true incremental mode, rich metadata (parameters, return types, decorators, docstrings, complexity), symbol resolution, inheritance/raises edges
2	Test Intelligence Helper	Finds test gaps, maps behaviors to coverage, generates unit/integration/contract tests
3	Feature Helper	Answers "how do I add X?" using graph context — finds relevant files and patterns
4	Blast Radius Analyzer	BFS over the graph to trace downstream impact; classifies edges as breaking/degraded/warning/safe
5	API Contract Validator	Diffs OpenAPI/AsyncAPI specs, classifies breaking changes, scores backward compatibility (0–100)
6	Security Review Agent	OWASP pattern scan, auth coverage gaps, hardcoded secret detection, dependency CVE lookup
7	Incident Investigation Helper	Correlates an incident description against recent commits and graph topology; ranks root-cause hypotheses
8	Migration Safety Validator	Validates migration files, estimates lock duration, generates zero-downtime migration plans
9	Multi-Model Code Review (true parallel dispatch)	Dispatches a diff to multiple AI models simultaneously via ThreadPoolExecutor; surfaces only bugs confirmed by two or more models
10	Knowledge Base Builder	Persistent searchable store of architectural decisions, runbooks, and tribal knowledge
11	Multi-Agent Orchestrator	Decomposes a task and runs specialized sub-agents (understanding, generation, review, test, security, docs)
12	Export / Import System	Portable zip snapshots of the full graph — share between machines, cache in CI, restore in seconds
13	Python SDK	Programmatic access to every tool via from jsat import JSAT
14	IThinking Meta-Cognitive Layer	Structured seven-phase reasoning: clarify, plan, context, assumptions, execute, reflect — with human approval gates

Multi-Model Review

Tool 9 dispatches the diff to all configured models in parallel, collects findings, and surfaces only those confirmed by two or more models. Configure the model list and timeout in .jsat/config.yaml:

review:
  models:
    - {provider: claude_cli, model: claude-sonnet-4-6}
    - {provider: ollama, model: qwen2.5-coder:7b}
  parallel_timeout_seconds: 90
  min_confidence: medium

• parallel_timeout_seconds — per-review wall-clock deadline; any model that exceeds this is skipped and its absence is logged.
• min_confidence — minimum agreement level to surface a finding: low (any model), medium (2+ models), high (all models).

Graph Schema

JSAT indexes these node types and relationship edges:

Nodes: Function, Class, File, Service, Endpoint, Table, Topic, KnowledgeEntry

Node properties (v0.2.0+):

Property	On	Example
name, file, language, line_start, line_end, line	Function, Class	"PaymentService.refund"
parameters	Function	[{"name":"order_id","type":"str"}]
return_type	Function	"bool", "list[Payment]"
decorators	Function, Class	["staticmethod","login_required"]
docstring	Function, Class	first line, max 200 chars
complexity	Function	cyclomatic (1 + branch count)
loc	Function	line_end - line_start + 1
bases	Class	["BaseModel","Serializable"]
method_count	Class	number of methods in class body

Edges:

Edge	Meaning
CALLS	Function A calls function B (resolved to node ID post-parse)
IMPORTS	File A imports module B
INHERITS	Class inherits from parent (all 6 languages)
IMPLEMENTS	Class implements interface/trait (Java, Go, Rust)
RAISES	Function can raise exception type (Python)
READS_FROM	Code reads from a table or topic
WRITES_TO	Code writes to a table or topic
PRODUCES	Service produces a Kafka message
CONSUMES	Service consumes a Kafka topic
DEPENDS_ON	Service depends on another service

---

Configuration

JSAT stores all state under .jsat/ in your repo root. The config file is .jsat/config.yaml.

jsat init                        # write starter config (solo profile)
jsat init --profile team         # team profile
jsat init --profile ci           # CI/CD profile

Key settings in .jsat/config.yaml:

graph:
  backend: sqlite          # sqlite (default) | neo4j (team profile)
  path: .jsat/graph/graph.db

embeddings:
  provider: local          # local | openai | none
  model: nomic-embed-code

ai:
  provider: ollama         # ollama | anthropic | openai | openai_compat | claude_cli | none
  model: llama3.2
  base_url: null           # for openai_compat (LM Studio, Gemini, etc.)

cache:
  backend: memory          # memory | disk | redis

indexer:
  languages: [python, javascript, go, java, ruby, rust]
  exclude_patterns: ["**/node_modules/**", "**/.git/**", "**/dist/**"]
  max_file_size_kb: 500

ithinking:
  enabled: true
  mode: interactive        # interactive | silent
  gate_level: medium       # low | medium | high

Profiles at a glance

Profile	Graph	AI	Cache	Use case
solo	SQLite	Ollama / llama3.2	Memory	Individual developer, no external services
team	Neo4j	Claude API	Redis	Shared graph, team-wide knowledge base
ci	SQLite	None	Memory	GitHub Actions, no API keys, JSON logs
raspberry-pi	SQLite	Ollama / phi3:mini	Disk	Low-RAM devices, batch size 8

Config search order

JSAT finds its config by checking these locations in order (first found wins):

1. Explicit path passed to JSAT(config=...) or --config flag
2. $JSAT_CONFIG environment variable
3. {repo}/.jsat/config.yaml (canonical)
4. {repo}/.jsat.yaml (legacy)
5. ./.jsat/config.yaml (CWD)
6. ~/.config/jsat/config.yaml
7. /etc/jsat/config.yaml
