Code Dependency Analysis

Know What Breaks Before You Change It

Ask "what depends on this function?" and get an instant answer. ContextStream maps your entire codebase so you can refactor with confidence.

The Refactoring Problem

Every developer has broken something they didn't know depended on what they changed.

Hidden Dependencies

You change a utility function. Three services break in production. Nobody knew they all used it.

Circular Dependencies

Module A imports B, B imports C, C imports A. Build times explode. Nobody knows where to start fixing it.

Dead Code

Your codebase has thousands of lines nobody uses. You're afraid to delete anything because "what if something needs it?"

The Solution

A Complete Map of Your Codebase

ContextStream builds a knowledge graph of how your code connects. Query it anytime.

Dependency Analysis

Query what depends on any file, function, or module. See the full dependency tree.

// What depends on this?
graph(action="dependencies",
  target="src/utils/auth.ts")
→ 12 files, 47 functions

Impact Analysis

Before changing anything, see exactly what would be affected.

// What breaks if I change this?
graph(action="impact",
  target="validateUser")
→ 3 API routes, 2 middleware

Analysis Capabilities

Dependency Queries

See what depends on any file, function, or module in your codebase.

Call Path Tracing

Trace execution flows between any two points in your code.

Impact Analysis

Understand exactly what would be affected by proposed changes.

Circular Detection

Automatically detect and visualize circular dependency chains.

Dead Code Finder

Identify unreferenced exports and unused code for cleanup.

Graph Visualization

See your codebase as an interactive knowledge graph.
