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

Project description

JSAT — JaySoft AI Tools

License: MIT Python 3.10+ PyPI version

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.

Long-running tools (jsat__crack, jsat__query, jsat__short, prompt rewriting) stream live progress notifications back to Claude Code so you see what's happening in real time — no more blank screens during 30-second operations.


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
jsat bob         # Bob Shell

# War room discussion (new!)
jsat crack "redesign payment retry system"

# Shortest possible answer (new!)
jsat short "what does process_refund do"

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 commands, /jsat-* prefix)

All tools have all 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[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. Bob Shell CLI — detected via which bob; no API key, IBM AI assistant with multiple modes
  3. Anthropic API — if ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set and jsat[anthropic] is installed
  4. OpenAI — if OPENAI_API_KEY is set and jsat[openai] is installed
  5. Ollama — if ollama serve is running at localhost:11434
  6. LM Studio — if an OpenAI-compatible server is running at localhost:1234
  7. 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 claude_cli                    # Claude Code CLI (no key, uses claude binary)
jsat ai use lmstudio                      # any OpenAI-compat server at localhost:1234
jsat ai test                              # verify the configured provider works

# Apply globally (all projects on this machine):
jsat ai use claude_cli --global

Switch inside the JSAT shell

switch claude    → Claude Code CLI (no key) or Claude API
switch bob       → Bob Shell (no key)
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 JSAT MCP tools automatically.

Connect

# Recommended: one-time global setup (works in every project)
jsat connect claude --global               # Claude Code — all sessions
jsat connect codex --global               # OpenAI Codex CLI — all sessions
jsat connect bob --global                 # Bob Shell — all sessions

# Per-project (this repo only)
jsat connect claude                        # Claude Code
jsat connect codex                         # OpenAI Codex CLI
jsat connect bob                           # Bob Shell (+ /jsat-* slash commands)
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 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 (31 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
Bob Shell (project) .bob/settings.json BOB.md + .bob/commands/jsat-*.md Slash commands
Bob Shell (global) ~/.bob/settings.json BOB.md + ~/.bob/commands/jsat-*.md Slash commands
Cursor ~/.cursor/mcp.json
Windsurf ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json .windsurfrules Rules file
Continue ~/.continue/config.json /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 --global (claude/codex/bob) or check the tool's docs for global scope on others.

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

/jsat dispatcher

jsat connect claude installs a single /jsat command rather than 34 individual /jsat-* commands. All skills are accessible as subcommands:

/jsat help               # list all 34 subcommands
/jsat query <question>   # answer codebase questions (Discuss→Verify pipeline)
/jsat crack <task>       # multi-agent war room with artifact carry-forward
/jsat aw <task>          # workflow advisor
/jsat lazy <task>        # reuse-first planning
/jsat smart <question>   # terse compressed answers

Skill files are bundled inside the JSAT package at jsat/commands/ and sourced directly when jsat connect claude runs.

JSAT Crack — Multi-Agent War Room

Run a complex engineering decision past a panel of six specialist AI agents that argue, challenge, and respond to each other — like a real architecture meeting.

jsat crack "redesign payment retry system"
jsat crack --roles architect,security "migrate users table to UUID"
jsat crack --rounds 2 --file design.md "sync vs async webhooks"

Agents (all run in parallel per round, then respond to each other):

Agent Focus
🏛 architect System design, scalability, patterns
🔒 security Threat model, auth, idempotency
⚙️ implementer Current code analysis, effort estimate
🧪 tester Edge cases, coverage gaps
😈 skeptic Devil's advocate — challenges everything
🎯 moderator Synthesises consensus and action plan

Phased mode (v0.4.0+): By default, each agent runs in its own phase (N=6) so you see results after every agent instead of waiting for all 6. Each agent receives all prior findings as context — the architect's conclusions inform the security analysis, and the skeptic specifically challenges the architect's and implementer's proposals.

Flag Effect
--phases N Override phase count (2–6, default 6)
--single One-shot: all 6 agents at once (may timeout)
jsat crack "redesign the payment retry system"
jsat crack --phases 4 "add idempotency to the charge endpoint"  
jsat crack --single "should we use Redis or Postgres for sessions?"

Output: A Markdown document saved to .jsat/crack/<slug>.md with each round's discussion and a final synthesis:

✅ Agreed:        Use exponential backoff with tenacity
⚠️ Disputed:      Redis vs in-process lock for idempotency
❓ Open questions: What's the SLA for retry exhaustion?
🎯 Action:        1. Extract retry logic, 2. Add idempotency key, 3. Write tests

In Claude Code: /jsat crack redesign the payment retry system

In the JSAT shell: crack should we use async or sync for webhook processing

MCP tool: jsat__crack

JSAT Short — Minimum-Word Answers

Get the shortest possible correct answer to any question.

jsat short "what does process_refund do"
jsat short --one-line "is PaymentService.process async"
jsat short --words 20 "explain the retry logic"

In Claude Code: /jsat short what does process_refund do

In the JSAT shell: short is the checkout flow async


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.

Discuss → Verify pipeline (v0.4.0+): Before optimizing, the skill classifies the query type and selects the right primary tool — structural questions use jsat__trace_call_chain, lookup questions use jsat__get_function, security questions use jsat__security_review, etc. After executing, Phase 5 spot-checks concrete claims from the answers against the graph, marking each as ✅ verified or ⚠️ unverified before synthesis.

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
jsat remove                                   # remove all JSAT artifacts from this repo

JSAT Smart — Terse Mode

Get compressed, fragment-based answers with filler stripped. Preserves code, function names, file paths, and data byte-for-byte.

Three compression levels:

Level Flag Reduction What it does
lite --lite ~30% Strips filler phrases only ("In order to", "It's worth noting", etc.)
full (default) ~55% Fragments + no explanatory preamble
ultra --ultra ~70% One bullet per fact, ≤8 words each
jsat smart "what does the payment service do?"
jsat smart --ultra "what does process_refund return?"
jsat smart --lite "explain the checkout flow"

Use as a fast fallback when /jsat query times out on large contexts.


JSAT Lazy — Reuse-First Planning

Before writing new code, runs a 5-rung reuse ladder against the indexed codebase graph. Stops at the first match.

Rung What it checks Tool used
1 Exact function/class already exists? jsat__get_function / jsat__get_class
2 Similar pattern in codebase? jsat__query
3 Existing service handles this domain? jsat__list_services
4 Existing endpoint already exposes this? jsat__list_endpoints
5 Nothing found → minimum viable code (suggest only)
# Check before building new retry logic
/jsat lazy add exponential backoff to the payment service

# Scan a diff for code that reimplements existing things
/jsat lazy --audit src/payments/retry.py

# Check if a proposed implementation duplicates existing code
/jsat lazy --review "def process_refund(order_id, amount)..."

JSAT Aw — Workflow Advisor

Classifies your task type and runs the optimal JSAT tool sequence end-to-end — no more guessing which tool to use or in what order.

Task type Recommended workflow
feature lazy → find-function → blast-radius → crack → test-gaps
bugfix recent → incident → find-function → blast-radius
security security → blast-radius --severity breaking → crack --phases 3 → knowledge-add
understand smart → trace → find-function → query
incident incident → recent → blast-radius → runbook
refactor lazy → blast-radius → test-gaps → crack → review
review review → blast-radius --severity breaking → test-gaps --untested
# Classify automatically and run the full workflow
/jsat aw add idempotency keys to the payment mutation endpoint

# Skip classification, force a specific workflow type
/jsat aw --type security src/auth/

# Show the recommended workflow without running it
/jsat aw --dry investigate the checkout 500 errors from this morning

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
15 Token Optimizer Offline token analysis and multi-strategy compression (whitespace, stopphrase, dedup, import collapse, recency pin)
16 JSAT Crack Multi-agent war room — 6 specialists discuss complex decisions in rounds, responding to each other; moderator synthesises consensus
17 JSAT Short Minimum-word answers — prepends brevity constraint so AI responds in ≤3 sentences or less
18 JSAT Smart Terse compression mode — fragment-based answers with filler stripped, code preserved
19 JSAT Lazy Reuse-first planning — 5-rung ladder against the graph before suggesting new code
20 JSAT Aw Workflow advisor — classifies task type, runs optimal JSAT tool sequence end-to-end

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

Data storage

By default JSAT stores runtime state (graph, cache, vectors, prompt history) in ~/.jsat/<hash12>/ — a global per-repo directory that never appears inside your git working tree. No .gitignore entry needed.

Priority Location When
1 $JSAT_DATA_DIR env var set (CI, Docker)
2 {repo}/.jsat/ already exists (backward compat)
3 ~/.jsat/<sha1_12>/ default

The config file (.jsat/config.yaml) is separate and optional — it holds project-specific settings, not runtime data.

One-time global setup

jsat init --global --profile solo      # write ~/.jsat/config.yaml
jsat ai use claude_cli --global        # set AI provider globally
jsat connect claude --global           # install to ~/.claude/ for all projects

After this, every project on the machine has JSAT available with no per-repo steps.

Per-repo config

jsat init                        # write .jsat/config.yaml (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 file 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 (repo-local canonical)
  4. {repo}/.jsat.yaml (legacy)
  5. ./.jsat/config.yaml (CWD)
  6. ~/.jsat/config.yamlglobal user config (jsat init --global)
  7. ~/.config/jsat/config.yaml
  8. /etc/jsat/config.yaml
