Ripgrep-backed code search and multi-file editing designed to keep coding agents under budget. Exposes ParecodeSearch with per-match token estimates and automatic context window merging, ParecodeExpand for widening ranges without full file reads, and ParecodeEdit for atomic batched writes with fuzzy matching. The init command wires up a SessionStart hook that nudges Claude toward these tools over native Grep/Read/Edit, plus an optional Haiku-powered subagent for exploration queries. Best on search-heavy tasks like refactors or call-site edits where you'd otherwise burn tokens on repeated grep-read-edit loops. Measured A/B tests show 40% cost cuts and 75% fewer turns on multi-file symbol rewrites. Local JSONL logs track savings with a retroactive scan mode for past sessions.
