`Semble`, code search for agents using 98% fewer tokens than grep

Agents get only the relevant code chunks instead of reading whole files. If the latency claim holds in real repos, this is worth testing for repo-aware coding workflows.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Semble accepts natural-language and code queries, then returns only the snippets likely needed by the agent.
  2. The headline claim is 98% fewer tokens than grep plus file reads, directly cutting context spend.
  3. Average repository indexing/search is listed around 250ms, so it fits interactive agent loops if accurate.
  4. Best use case: wiring it into custom agents or CLI flows where rg finds too much and full-file reads waste context.
