Stacklit FAQs

Question 1

How does Stacklit integrate with popular AI tools like Claude or Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Stacklit provides a built-in MCP (Multi-tool Conversation Protocol) server with 7 specialized tools, allowing seamless integration with Claude Desktop and Cursor. Its `stacklit.json` output is also a standard JSON file, making it readily usable by any LLM-powered agent or tool capable of reading files.

Question 2

How does Stacklit create a token-efficient index?

Accepted Answer

Stacklit uses advanced code analysis via tree-sitter for 11 programming languages to create a concise, structured JSON index. This index summarizes large codebases into a few thousand tokens (e.g., 4,000 tokens for 100,000+ lines of code), drastically reducing the tokens AI agents need to consume compared to scanning raw files.

Question 3

What is Stacklit and how does it help AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Stacklit is a CLI tool that makes any code repository AI-agent-ready. It generates a highly token-efficient `stacklit.json` codebase index, which AI agents can read to understand your project's structure, modules, dependencies, and hints instantly, saving context window tokens and speeding up development.

Question 4

What kind of visual map does Stacklit provide?

Accepted Answer

Stacklit generates an interactive `stacklit.html` visual map with four distinct views: a force-directed dependency Graph, a collapsible Tree hierarchy, a sortable Table of modules, and a top-down Flow of dependencies. This map helps developers and AI agents navigate and understand complex codebases easily.

Question 5

How does Stacklit keep the codebase index updated, especially in monorepos?

Accepted Answer

Stacklit offers several ways to keep the index fresh: manual `stacklit generate`, a convenient git post-commit hook (`stacklit init --hook`) for automatic updates (with Merkle hashing to skip unnecessary runs), and support for CI/CD workflows via GitHub Actions. It also automatically detects and supports various monorepo structures.
