Up to 50% less waiting · Up to 70% less tokens · Up to 99% less explanations to do Tighter context = Better Quality Quick Install · Security · Developers · AI Assistants · Docs --- Why CICADA? The core problem: AI code assistants waste context on blind searches. Grep dumps entire files when you only need a function signature, leaving less room for actual reasoning. The Context Compaction Approach Instead of raw text dumps, CICADA gives your AI structured, pre-indexed knowledge : Traditional Search CICADA ------------------- -------- Grep dumps entire files Returns only signatures + call sites Misses aliased imports Tracks all reference types No semantic understanding Keyword search finds verify credentials when you ask for \"authentication\" What You Get - AST-level indexing – Module/function/class definitions with signatures, specs, docs - 17+ language support – Elixir, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust, Go, Java, Kotlin, Scala, C/C++, Ruby, C#, Visual Basic, Dart, PHP, Erlang (beta) - Complete call-site tracking – Aliases, imports, dynamic references across all supported languages - Semantic search – Find code by concept with keyword extraction or embeddings (Ollama integration) - Git + PR ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/wende","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/wende/cicada/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
