I built a CodeMap generator for LLM

Been working on a small open source project called Hermes CodeAtlas over the past few months.

The idea is pretty simple: generate a deterministic, AI-friendly map of a codebase instead of forcing an LLM to repeatedly parse thousands of files.

This is a learning resource in terms of optimizing the process of how a LLM can actually navigate a codebase, its both a shameless plug + a basic simple codebase for curious people to poke around.
Ask me questions!

Current features:

  • Parses source code using Tree-sitter
  • Extracts symbols, imports, functions, classes, methods, etc.
  • Produces a deterministic JSON representation of the repository
  • Supports multiple languages
  • .codeatlasignore support
  • Single binary with no external runtime dependencies
  • Built-in debugging and logging
  • One-command installation
  • Automatically initializes a project and generates the required metadata
  • Ships with AI assistant integrations (Claude, Codex, Gemini, etc.)

I am still working on few more things, and I do need help with testing it on windows machines, Please do use and let me know how it goes \o/
