Benchmark note
This benchmark compares CodeSift against the closest practical native workflow an agent would use for the same task.
For some tools, that baseline is a direct shell equivalent such as rg or find.
For AST-aware, graph-aware, and LSP-backed tools, the baseline is a multi-step workflow rather than a strictly identical command.
Results should be read as agent-workflow comparisons: token cost, call count, and practical context efficiency.
