Benzi – A harness reading LESS source code to write better quality code

SMRTR summary

Benzi is an AI coding agent that parses entire repositories into a precise, queryable symbol map using tree-sitter before answering any question. Instead of dumping code into a context window, it resolves call edges, data flow, and class hierarchies upfront. On SWE-bench Verified, it resolved 78.2% of 500 real bugs at roughly $0.095 each — reading far less source code than competing tools like Claude Code or Cursor.
