AI BriefingRepowise Released for Claude Code
Key point
Repowise, an open-source layer that ties together git, dependency, and decision history for Claude Code, has been released.
Details
Repowise is an open-source MCP tool that attaches codebase context to Claude Code's sessions, which start fresh each time.
It has four core components.
- AST-based dependency graph
- git signals: hotspots, per-engineer ownership, files that change together but aren't connected by imports
- auto-generated wiki and semantic search
- a decision layer that extracts structural reasoning from commit history
A benchmark was also released alongside it. Running 48 SWE-QA tasks on pallets/flask, it was compared against bare Claude Code under the same model, same prompts, and same judge conditions.
The results were as follows.
- 36% cost reduction
- 49% fewer tool calls
- 89% fewer files viewed
Additional features presented include:
- dead code detection: works via graph traversal alone, with no LLM calls
- automatic CLAUDE.md generation: reflects hotspot warnings, ownership maps, files that change together, and past decisions
- linking between decision records and code, plus staleness tracking
- multi-repo support
