📉 Why codebone?
AI assistants typically read 10–20 files just to understand your architecture — burning thousands of tokens on boilerplate before writing a single line of code.
codebone runs in your macOS menu bar, watches every file save, and delivers a live architectural snapshot directly to Claude, Cursor, or Gemini via MCP.
