Claude Code helper passes 50K pip installs
A side business with 25,000 was being built with heavy help from Claude, but too much human checking was still needed. The result was a local index that helps Claude Code understand a project better.
It gathers code structure, git history, a living wiki, and design decisions found in commits and , then gives that context to Claude Code. A code health layer was added to score each file for defect risk using fixed rules.
The tool combines the and git history to show where risky code sits and suggest concrete fixes, such as splitting an oversized class, moving a method, or breaking a circular structure. The open-source tool has passed 50,000 organic pip installs, and its retention data says more than 60% of users come back.
