Show HN: Cross-repository understanding using static analysis and selective AI

https://www.omnispex.dev
1•kanwarb•4h ago
Built this because I kept losing context when working across multiple services. You know the problem: "what breaks if I change this auth function?" requires manually tracing through 5+ repositories to find all the dependencies.

Technical approach:

- Tree-sitter AST parsing for reliable dependency extraction across languages - Graph storage for efficient relationship traversal - AI only for semantic pattern matching on structured data (not raw code analysis) - Real-time impact analysis without the accuracy problems of pure semantic approaches

Key insight: Don't trust AI for detailed code analysis (research shows 15-20% error rates), but use it for broader connections between components that static analysis has already verified.

Differentiation from existing tools: - Sourcegraph: excellent single-repo navigation, limited cross-repo understanding - Glean: searches documentation, this analyzes actual code relationships - GitHub dependency graph: package-level tracking, this maps business logic flow

Works whether you have microservices or complex monorepo with multiple domains. Planning to open source core components since existing solutions are enterprise-only.

Early feedback welcome.
