Precision context. Surgical extraction.

Graph-Native Core

Every file, symbol, and dependency mapped to a live graph. Traverse call chains, import trees, and type hierarchies in milliseconds.

Token-Aware Slicing

Slice context to a target token budget. The engine ranks relevance and trims gracefully, ensuring every prompt counts.

Semantic Layer

Beyond syntax trees: understand intent. Docstrings, comments, and commit history feed a semantic index over your repo.

Incremental Indexing

File-level diffing means re-indexing only what changed. Giant monorepos stay snappy without full rebuilds.

Universal Output

Emit context as JSON, Markdown, XML, or a structured prompt fragment. Plug into any LLM workflow without adapters.

Privacy First

Runs entirely on-device. Your code never leaves your machine. No telemetry, no cloud dependency, no trust required.


From raw codebase to structured context in four steps.

01
Ingest

Point Alligator at a file, directory, or Git ref. The watcher detects language, encoding, and project structure automatically.

SCANNER + PARSER
02
Graph Build

AST nodes, symbol tables, and inter-file relationships are materialized into a typed property graph stored in-process.

GRAPH ENGINE
03
Query

Provide a focal point: a function name, a file, a natural-language description. The engine scores, ranks, and traverses connected nodes.

RANKER + RETRIEVER
04
Emit

A formatted, token-bounded context block is returned. Pass it directly to your LLM, IDE plugin, or CI tool.

FORMATTER

Active development. Shipping soon.
