CodeFlow
Optimizes understanding of complex codebases by generating detailed call graphs, identifying critical elements, and providing semantic search capabilities.
About
CodeFlow is a robust Python-based code analysis tool engineered to demystify complex codebases for both human developers and autonomous agents. It achieves this by extracting rich metadata from Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs), building intelligent call graphs, and leveraging a persistent vector store (ChromaDB) for semantic search. The tool prioritizes human comprehension, offering a CLI for direct analysis and an MCP Server for real-time integration with AI assistants and IDEs, facilitating efficient querying, visualization, and navigation of code structure and behavior with minimal cognitive overhead.
