VeraTools / vera
Local code search combining BM25, vector similarity, and cross-encoder reranking. Parses 60+ languages with tree-sitter, runs entirely offline, and returns structured results with file paths, line ranges, and symbol metadata. Built in Rust.
Why this job: topics: rag, embeddings, semantic-search, vector-search
What it does
Describe what the code does, and Vera finds it. Ask for "where expired sessions are cleaned up" and you get back the functions and classes that do it, ranked, with file paths and line ranges. Exact names work too.
