stratograph

name	stratograph
description	Use when understanding or changing code in this repo: locating where a symbol is defined, what calls it, how a request flows across the API boundary, or the blast radius of a change (which symbols, tests, endpoints — and which other indexed repos — a change affects). Prefer this over ls/grep sweeps.

Stratograph: query the code graph instead of grepping

This repository is indexed by stratograph as a semantic graph (definitions, calls, imports, inheritance, API endpoints and their clients). Query that graph for code understanding and impact analysis — it's faster and more precise than scanning files, and it crosses the web and package boundaries.

How to ask

Stratograph exposes an MCP server (stratograph mcp, also POST /mcp under stratograph serve) and a CLI. Use whichever is wired up.

Locate / explore

• search <query> — full-text over symbol names and docs.
• definition <name> / callers <name> / callees <name> / neighbors <name>.
• endpoints / clients / serves <path> / who_calls <path> / api_impact <path> — API surface and cross-boundary consumers.

Blast radius (do this before changing a symbol)

• impact <name> — classified, confidence-aware dependents: tests to run, API surface touched, internal dependents. Seed from a symbol, a --file, or a git change set (--since, --staged, --diff).
• impact <name> --downstream (or --group <name>) — extends the blast radius into other indexed repos that depend on this one, reporting which break and where.
• list_repos — the repos stratograph has indexed (with health + forge ids).

CLI equivalents: stratograph query <verb> <name>, stratograph impact ….

Rule of thumb

Reaching for grep/ls to trace callers, find a definition, or guess what a change affects? Ask stratograph instead — and run impact before editing a widely-used symbol so you know the tests and consumers up front.
