Show HN: Nuanced – Help AI understand code structure, not just text

Published on: 2025-06-20 17:26:38

We're excited to announce the initial launch of Nuanced, an open-source Python library that provides LLMs with precise call graph context. By analyzing function relationships, we generate a structured representation of code dependencies. This is our first step toward building a richer context layer that can help AI coding assistants make more informed decisions about your codebase. Why AI coding needs relevant context AI coding assistants are surprisingly primitive when it comes to understanding code structure. The LLMs powering these assistants have no equivalent to the Language Server Protocols (LSPs) that developers take for granted — they can't jump to definitions, find references, or understand type hierarchies. Instead, they examine source code as chunks of text (tokens) with a limited context window, and use embeddings — vector representations that capture statistical patterns but don't preserve actual program structure. This lack of "dev tools for AI" creates a significant ... Read full article.
