SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Codemapper maps codebases to structured representations, exposing modules, symbols, and relationships to accelerate comprehension.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate code maps to reveal project structure and module boundaries.
  • Query symbols and inspect definitions, usages, and references.
  • Trace call graphs to understand function callers and callees.
  • Analyze dependencies to identify cycles and impact of changes.
  • Use cases include onboarding new developers, planning refactors, and risk assessment.

Quick Start

  • Use cm map . --level 2 --format ai to get an overview of the current project.
  • Use cm query <Symbol> . --format ai to locate definitions and usages.
  • Use cm deps . --format ai to preview the dependency graph.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze codebase dependencies and trace call paths in a monorepo?

To analyze codebase dependencies and trace call paths in a monorepo, use the cm tool to parse source files and generate AI-friendly structured code maps with the --format ai flag. It reveals module boundaries and call graphs for unfamiliar codebases.

What is a code map and how does it help with onboarding to an unfamiliar codebase?

A code map is a structured representation of source files that exposes modules and symbols. It accelerates comprehension of unfamiliar codebases by revealing project structure and module boundaries, enabling quick symbol lookup and dependency analysis.

How do I find symbol definitions and usages across a project?

To find symbol definitions and usages across a project, run the cm query command with the target symbol and the --format ai flag. This locates definitions and references to help you understand callers and callees within the codebase.

Can I identify dependency cycles and assess refactor risks using a code map?

Yes, you can identify dependency cycles and assess refactor risks by generating a dependency graph with the cm deps command. This exposes relationships and cycles, helping you understand the impact of changes during planning.

Does the cm code mapping tool work without external dependencies?

Yes, the cm code mapping tool works without external dependencies. It directly parses source files to build level-based maps and generate AI-friendly outputs, requiring no additional components or setup to analyze your codebase.
