0:28askgrep is a fast Rust CLI tool that searches codebases based on semantic meaning rather than exact keywords, providing raw confidence scores.
Use Case JEV by Typesafe AI
Just a simple tool for questions that are too messy to write as a regex pattern.
If you’ve ever had to deal with brittle regex because every dev writes things differently or ended up feeding an entire codebase into an expensive LLM just to find one specific function, take a look at "askgrep".
It’s a fast Rust CLI that searches your codebase based on semantic meaning, instead of just matching exact keywords.
A few examples:
- askgrep "catches an error and swallows it without logging or rethrowing" → find silent crashes
- askgrep "writes to the database inside a loop" → find potential N+1 issues
- askgrep "logs an object that could contain a token or a password" → catch potential credential leaks
The interesting part:
- ⚡ Fast & cheap, powered by Jev (a System One model). It doesn’t generate long explanations; it just returns raw confidence scores from "0.0" to "1.0".
- 💸 Very cheap to run, scanning 1,800+ functions takes around 10 seconds and costs less than $0.03.
- 🎯 No sampling, it can scan 100% of your codebase instead of sampling a small portion, which makes it useful for automated SRE / CI/CD guardrails.
Basically, don’t use a Ferrari to go to the grocery store. 😄
