graphlens: turn any repo into one typed graph — across Python, TypeScript, Go and Rust
Every code-intelligence tool I've ever used falls into one of two traps.
The first is the grep-and-read loop: you (or your AI agent) search for a name, open ten files, read around the matches, follow an import, search again. It works, but it's slow, it burns tokens, and it has no idea that the process_order you found in services.py is the same process_order that gets called from api.py — versus the unrelated one in tests/.
The second is the single-language silo: tools that understand Python beautifully but go blind the moment your TypeScript front end calls a Python FastAPI route. Real systems are polyglot. Your tooling usually isn't.
graphlens is an open-source (MIT) framework built to escape both traps. It parses a source project, normalizes its structure into a shared graph IR, and hands you that graph to do whatever you want with — dependency analysis, navigation, dead-code detection, or feeding an LLM agent precise answers instead of file dumps.
