|---|---|
file_tree | Browse project file structure |
read_files | Read source file contents |
write_files | Create or modify project files |
grep_project | Search text across the project |

semantic_search | Search code by meaning |
Common Workflows
Ask about your project
Ask about your project
Open Parsaa with Cmd+L and type your question. Parsaa reads your project context automatically — it sees your open files, project structure, and build errors. No need to copy-paste code.
Edit code inline
Edit code inline
Select code in Xcode, press Cmd+K, and describe the changes you want. Parsaa generates a diff you can review and apply with a single click. A checkpoint is created before each change so you can roll back.
Search by meaning
Search by meaning
Press Cmd+P and type a natural language query like “authentication logic” or “network error handling.” Parsaa finds relevant code by what it does, not just by name.
Semantic Search requires a VoyageAI API key. Configure it in API Keys.
Plan complex changes
Plan complex changes
Describe a large change like “Refactor the networking layer to use async/await.” Parsaa enters Plan Mode, presents a step-by-step plan, and executes each step after your approval. You stay in control the entire time.
Generate tests
Generate tests
Ask “Write unit tests for [file or function]” in chat. Parsaa reads your code, generates comprehensive XCTest cases, and writes them to your project. Review and add the file to your test target.
Generate documentation
Generate documentation
Ask “Document this code” in chat. Parsaa generates
/// style Swift documentation comments for your classes, methods, and properties.
