Score: 7.8/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Grove is a tree-sitter-powered tool that provides coding agents with byte-precise, token-cheap access to codebases via CLI and MCP server, reducing context token usage by ~90% compared to whole-file reads. Its runtime WASM grammar registry enables easy multi-language support without recompilation, making it a complementary layer beneath LSPs.

Target audience: backend devs, AI/ML engineers, devops
