Roam Code

What it does

Roam Code provides a structural intelligence engine that indexes codebases into a semantic graph. It allows AI agents to query symbols, dependencies, call graphs, and architecture layers via MCP instead of relying on inefficient grep/read cycles.

Tools

• roam_understand: Provides a full codebase briefing including tech stack and architecture.
• roam_preflight: Performs pre-change safety checks including blast radius and affected tests.
• roam_context: Retrieves AI-optimized context with exact line ranges for modifying symbols.
• roam_diagnose: Ranks potential root causes for debugging issues.
• roam_health: Returns a composite health score based on tangle ratio and god components.
• roam_impact: Calculates the blast radius of changing a specific symbol.
