advanced Published 5 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Design a local-first architecture for your code-intelligence tool
  2. Build a SQLite database to store project knowledge graphs
  3. Implement an on-demand build process that only updates the graph when requested
  4. Configure the tool to never make network calls and rely solely on local data
  5. Test the tool's performance and scalability with large projects
