koshas 0.0.15

kosha (कोश) — a treasury of your repo and environment context for coding agents. FTS5 + vector search + call graph, no LLMs required.

kosha

kosha (कोश) — persistent knowledge of your codebase and installed packages for humans and AI coding assistants.

FTS5 + vector search + call graph, merged with RRF. Each result includes the snippet, callers, callees, and PageRank. No LLMs required.

Install

kosha is a dev dependency — it indexes at development time so AI coding assistants can search it.

uv add --dev kosha

One-time project setup — installs SKILL.md so every agent picks up the skill automatically:

Kosha(install_skill=True)   # writes .agents/skills/kosha/ and .claude/skills/kosha/

Sync

Once per session; subsequent calls are incremental (only changed files and new versions re-indexed).

k = Kosha()
k.sync(pkgs=['fastcore', 'litesearch'])

k.status()

{'files': 3, 'packages': 81, 'graph_nodes': 78502, 'stale_files': 0}

Re-run k.sync() after uv add, version bumps, or significant code changes. If stale_files > 0 or stale_pkgs is non-empty, sync before querying.

1 — Check before implementing

Before writing any new function, verify it doesn’t already exist in a dependency.

results = k.env_context('atomic write temp file permissions', limit=5)
for r in results:
    print(r['metadata']['mod_name'])
    print(' ', r['content'].splitlines()[0])
    print()

setuptools._core_metadata.write_pkg_info
  def write_pkg_info(self, base_dir):

fastcore.xtras.atomic_save
  def atomic_save(fn, mode='wb', uid=-1, gid=-1, **kwargs):

jupyter_server.services.contents.fileio.FileManagerMixin
  class FileManagerMixin(LoggingConfigurable, Configurable):

anyio._core._tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile.write
  async def write(self: SpooledTemporaryFile[bytes], b: ReadableBuffer) -> int: ...

jupyter_server.services.contents.fileio.FileManagerMixin
  class FileManagerMixin(LoggingConfigurable, Configurable):

Package names in the query are auto-detected as filters. package:, path:, type: tokens narrow further:

k.env_context('package:fastcore path:xtras atomic save', limit=8)

Need more info on a package? Call pkg_url to get its repo/docs URL, then use websearch for changelogs, API docs, or migration guides:

from kosha.core import pkg_url
pkg_url('litesearch')  # → 'https://github.com/Karthik777/litesearch'

2 — Find existing patterns

Any task that adds or modifies behaviour. Run before touching files.

results = k.context('search code embeddings', limit=6, graph=True)
for r in results:
    m = r['metadata']
    print(f"{m['mod_name']}  L{m.get('lineno','?')}  "
          f"pr={r.get('pagerank',0):.4f}  callers={list(r.get('callers',[]))[:2]}")

kosha.core.repo_context  L469  pr=0.0003  callers=['kosha.graph.context', 'kosha.core.Kosha']
litesearch.core.vec_search  L42  pr=0.0001  callers=['litesearch.core.Table']
kosha.core.env_context  L439  pr=0.0003  callers=['kosha.graph.context', 'kosha.core.Kosha']
litesearch.core.vec_search  L42  pr=0.0001  callers=['litesearch.core.Table']
kosha.core.repo_context  L364  pr=0.0003  callers=['kosha.graph.context', 'kosha.core.Kosha']
chonkie.handshakes.pinecone.PineconeHandshake.search  L201  pr=0.0000  callers=['chonkie.chunker.slumber.SlumberChunker._extract_index_from_text', 'chonkie.handshakes.elastic.ElasticHandshake.search']

pagerank = blast radius — higher means more things depend on it, touch carefully.

3 — Understand a node

Who calls this? What does it call? What are its peers?

info = k.ni('fastcore.basics.merge')
print('pagerank:', info.get('pagerank', 0))
print('callers: ', list(info.get('callers', []))[:5])
print('callees: ', list(info.get('callees', []))[:5])
print('co_dispatched:', list(info.get('co_dispatched', []))[:5])

pagerank: 3e-05
callers:  ['fastcore.script.call_parse._f']
callees:  ['fastcore.basics.NS.__iter__', 'fastcore.nbio.Notebook.__iter__', 'fastcore.xtras.SaveReturn.__iter__', 'fastcore.xml.FT.__iter__', 'fastcore.docscrape.NumpyDocString.__iter__']
co_dispatched: []

co_dispatched lists sibling functions registered together (route groups, handler tables, plugin lists) — the pattern to follow when adding a new one.

4 — Find where to add new code

pts = k.where_to_add('add dynamic ast parsing for patched functions', limit=3)
for p in pts:
    co = ', '.join(p['co_dispatched'][:3])
    print(f"{p['path']}:{p['insert_after']}  ({p['node']})")
    if co: print(f'  peers: {co}')

/Users/71293/code/personal/orgs/kosha/kosha/graph.py:130  (kosha.graph._patch_edges)

Triage — scan many results quickly

compact=True strips full code bodies and returns slim dicts for fast scanning.

hits = k.context('database search filter package:litesearch', limit=10,repo=False, compact=True)
for r in hits:
    sig = r.get('sig', '')
    doc = (r.get('docstring') or '')[:60]
    print(f"{r['mod_name']}  L{r.get('lineno','?')}")  
    if sig: print(f'  {sig}')
    if doc: print(f'  # {doc}')
