## FAQ

### What is Sinter?

Sinter is a local code knowledge graph for coding agents that builds a typed, directed graph of a repository's symbols using tree-sitter.

### How can I use Sinter with an AI agent?

You can onboard a repository using `sinter init`, which registers agent integration and creates an AGENTS.md block.
