VS Code extension that turns a codebase into a live, interactive dependency graph across three layers: file-to-file imports, symbol-level call hierarchy (AST via ts-morph), and a cross-file live call graph (Tree-sitter + SQLite). Exposes all three layers to AI assistants through a 22-tool MCP server, plus a standalone CLI and an agent skill.

Look up reverse dependencies to see what breaks before touching a file
Auto-detect and highlight circular dependencies in the file graph
Let your AI assistant query call graphs and generate codemaps through the 22-tool MCP server

Why it matters

Answers 'what breaks if I touch this?' with one-click reverse dependency lookup, auto-detects circular dependencies, and gives AI assistants a 22-tool MCP server so architecture questions are answered from a real code graph instead of grep and guesswork.

Best for

Backend engineers and full-stack developers working with complex algorithms or data transformations requiring immediate visual feedback.
