What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use graph-backed or semantic codebase intelligence before editing. Use when tasks need symbol search, blast radius, affected tests, architecture health, dependency paths, large-codebase context, Roam, CodeAlive, GraphRAG, or MCP code search. Skip for tiny scripts where rg/read is enough.

Codebase Graph Scout

Prefer graph tools when the repo is large enough that raw file reading will waste context.

Tool Preference

Available toolUse for
roam-codelocal symbol graph, preflight, impact, health, affected tests
CodeAlive MCPhosted semantic/GraphRAG code search with API key
rg + manifestsfallback for small repos or missing graph tools

Roam Loop

roam init
roam health
roam understand
roam context <symbol>
roam preflight <symbol>
roam affected-tests <symbol>

Use --json for parsing and --budget <n> when context is tight.

CodeAlive Loop

  1. List data sources.
  2. Run semantic_search or grep_search.
  3. Fetch only the relevant artifacts.
  4. Expand relationships for the smallest useful set.
  5. Use chat/synthesis only after search results are insufficient.

Output

Return:

  • symbols/files to read
  • edit risk
  • likely tests
  • dependency or call paths that matter
  • what not to touch

Reference source patterns in references/source-repos.md.

Validation

  • The returned file/symbol set is smaller than a broad repo read.
  • Claimed impact paths cite graph/search output or exact files.
  • If graph tools are unavailable, the fallback rg/manifest path is stated.
