What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of not understanding how parts of an unfamiliar codebase work, including how functions connect and where execution flows through the system.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Codebase discovery and staleness check: Reads indexed repo context to understand scope and whether the index needs refreshing.
- Execution-flow search: Finds relevant processes and groups related symbols for a given concept (e.g., “auth flow” or “payment processing”).
- Symbol deep-dive and end-to-end tracing: Expands a symbol into incoming/outgoing calls and then retrieves the full process trace for implementation-level understanding.
- Use Case: When you’re new to a project and need to answer “How does authentication work?”, you can explore the indexed context, query for auth-related flows, inspect key symbols, and trace the full execution path.
Quick Start
Ask your Claude Code session to explore the authentication flow by reading the repo context, querying for the auth concept, then opening the most relevant processes and symbols for full call-trace understanding.
