Understand
Start with the code you have
Explore code, symbols, and dependencies through structural and semantic search, with answers grounded in repository context.
insrc / An insors open-source initiative
AI development grounded in your codebase.
insrc connects knowledge of your repositories with guided development workflows. Move from understanding existing code to defining requirements, designing solutions, planning work, and building with review along the way.
Build
Keep the workflow connected
Carry requirements, design decisions, and task plans into implementation with approval and review gates.
Open source
Inspect, adapt, contribute
An MIT-licensed initiative from insors, with source code and documentation available for engineering teams.
Developer workflow
From a requirement to a reviewed change.
01 / Understand
Codebase knowledge
Index repositories and connect code entities with their relationships. Find relevant code and understand the dependencies around it.
02 / Define
Requirements & criteria
Turn a goal into defined requirements and acceptance criteria, resolving open questions before implementation.
03 / Design
Design the solution
Develop a proposed approach grounded in the repository, with design artifacts available for review and approval.
04 / Plan
Plan the work
Break the design into implementation tasks that connect the intended solution to the work ahead.
05 / Build
Build & test
Carry the plan into code changes and tests, keeping the implementation connected to its requirements and design.
06 / Review
Review changes
Inspect changes and test results against the intended outcome, with human review in the workflow.
Built for engineering teams
Context that stays with the work.
insrc combines a local code-knowledge store with AI-assisted analysis and development workflows, giving teams a shared foundation for understanding and changing software.
- Local storage for the repository graph and code embeddings.
- Code analysis with references to indexed paths and symbols.
- Guided workflows with design, planning, approval, and review stages.
- Integration with existing AI coding tools through MCP.
