# coldstart

> Use this tool when you need to quickly query a codebase without incurring the overhead of re-searching from scratch. Coldstart solves the problem of repetitive and time-consuming code searches by providing a persistent index that AI agents can query, reducing the "cold-start tax". It takes in a codebase as input and outputs relevant search results, ideal for use cases involving frequent code searches in git-based projects.
