Reduces cost per correct answer by 44% on Sonnet, 39% on Opus, and 38% on Haiku across 160 benchmark runs. (benchmarks) tilth is what happens when you give ripgrep , tree-sitter , and cat a shared brain. Small files come back whole. Large files get an outline. Drill in with --section : Search finds definitions first Tree-sitter finds where symbols are defined — not just where strings appear. Each match shows its surrounding file structure so you know what you're looking at without a second read. Expanded definitions include a callee footer ( ── calls ── ) showing resolved callees with file, line range, and signature — the agent can follow call chains without separate searches for each callee. Expanded search CLI search returns compact results by default. Use --expand to inline source for the top matches: In MCP mode, expand defaults to 2 — no flag needed. Multi-symbol search Trace across files in one call: Each symbol gets its own result block with definitions and expansions. The expand budget is shared — at least one expansion per symbol, deduped across files. Callers query Find all call sites of a symbol using structural tree-sitter matching (not text search): In MCP mode, use kind: \"callers\" on tilth search instead. Blast-radius deps See what a file imports and what depends on it — useful before renaming or changing exports: In MCP mode, use the tilth deps tool. Grok a symbol Everything about one symbol in a single call — ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/jahala","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/jahala/tilth/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
