Ixchel
AI-native developer tools powered by HelixDB
Ixchel
AI-native developer tools built for the agentic era.
Modern AI-assisted development needs persistent, structured memory. These tools provide that memory layer using HelixDB — the graph-vector database built for RAG and AI applications.
Why Ixchel?
AI coding assistants are powerful, but they lack memory. They can't remember what you worked on yesterday, can't find related issues semantically, and can't track dependencies across your codebase.
Ixchel solves this by giving your AI agents:
- Semantic Search — Find issues by meaning, not just keywords
- Graph Intelligence — Understand dependencies, blockers, and critical paths
- Persistent Memory — Context that survives across sessions
- Offline-First — Full functionality without network access
The Toolkit
| Tool | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|
| ixchel | Git-first knowledge weaving system | MVP |
Future tools are tracked as Ixchel ideas under .ixchel/ideas/ (not maintained as workspace crates).
Powered by HelixDB
All tools are built on HelixDB, which uniquely combines:
- Graph traversal — Navigate relationships between entities
- Vector search — Find semantically similar content
- BM25 text search — Traditional keyword matching
- Hybrid reranking — Combine search methods intelligently
This combination enables features like "find issues similar to this one" or "what's the critical path blocking this epic" that traditional databases simply can't provide.
