SamaritanAI

Opening an unfamiliar open-source repository and not knowing which files matter for a given GitHub issue is a slow, frustrating start.

SamaritanAI is an AI code assistant that turns large, complex codebases into network graphs so you can see how the pieces connect before you touch anything.

Instead of the usual folder tree, SamaritanAI converts the hierarchical file system into a graph file system.

From there it uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to point at the files most likely to need changes for a particular issue.

That gives you a shortlist to start from rather than a blind search through hundreds of files.

The focus is open-source contribution.

If you want to pick up GitHub issues in projects you did not write, SamaritanAI offers an AI-assisted route to working out where a fix probably belongs.

It is a narrow tool, built around graph views and issue-to-file matching, not a general chat assistant for writing code.
