What it does
AI coding agents waste time grepping through your codebase every session to understand it. Dora indexes your code's dependency graph into SQLite so agents can instantly query what depends on what, find symbols, and navigate without re-exploring. Works with any SCIP-compatible language (TypeScript, Python, Java, Rust, Go, and more). Drop it into any project, add a hook, and your agent gets accurate context for better plans on the first try.
Query symbols, dependencies, and references without reading files. Built for AI agents, useful for humans too.
$ grep -r "Logger" $ dora symbol Logger ← Previous Find symbol definitions Next → Quick Start Documentation Why dora? AI coding assistants waste tokens on grep/find/glob to understand code structure. Text-based search gives false positives and misses relationships. dora indexes your codebase so agents can query symbols, dependencies, and references instantly, without reading files. grep/find/glob work on text patterns. dora understands your code structure. 2. Install SCIP indexer 3. Initialize and index your codebase dora init && dora index Your codebase is now indexed. Try dora ls to see an overview. For more installation options, see the documentation .

Web-eval-agent – Let the coding agent debug itself2025 · github.com · ▲84Hey HN! We’ve been building an MCP server to help AI-assisted web app developers by using browser agents to test whether changes made by an AI inside an editor actually work. We've been testing it on scenarios like verifying new flows in a UI, or checking that sending a chat request triggers a response. The idea is to let your coding agent both code and evaluate if what it did was correct. Here’s a short demo with Cursor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AoQK-bwR0w When building apps, we found the hardest part of AI-assisted coding isn’t the coding—it’s tedious point-and-click…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
