 A lightweight CLI coding agent optimized for **local models** by providing AST-based intelligent context for smaller models running on consumer hardware.
 
+> minicode gives local models a dependency-aware map of your codebase, so agents read less, reason better, and ship changes faster.
+
 Read operations dominate token usage in typical agent sessions; minicode addresses this by optimizing for **specific languages** — indexing your project at startup with language plugins (TypeScript/JavaScript built-in) and injecting a compact **code map** (signatures only) into the system prompt, plus symbol-level tools (`read_symbol`, `find_references`, `get_dependencies`) so the model reads only what it needs instead of entire files. This keeps prompts lean enough for smaller models in the 20B range, with faster inference and better attention over the relevant code.

 - **`find_references`** — Returns symbols that call or reference a given symbol.
 - **`read_symbol`** — Shows "Used by", "Calls", and "Referenced Types" derived from the graph.
 
+### Why this differs from a tree-sitter-first approach
+
+Tree-sitter-focused agents are excellent for fast, generic syntax parsing across many languages. minicode takes a different path for TypeScript/JavaScript by using the TypeScript compiler AST to build a project symbol graph and drive graph-aware tools.
+
+Advantages of this approach in minicode:
+
+- **Dependency-aware navigation** — tools can follow call/type/inheritance edges (`calls`, `references`, `extends`, `implements`) instead of relying on text-only search.
+- **Higher-signal context under tight budgets** — code-map ranking prioritizes exported and highly referenced symbols so key APIs survive truncation.
+- **Targeted reads for local models** — symbol-level tools (`read_symbol`, `find_references`, `get_dependencies`) reduce unnecessary file reads and improve attention on relevant code.
+- **Fast iterative indexing** — syntax-only AST parsing (without full type-checking) keeps startup and reindexing lightweight while preserving structural code intelligence.
