Explore Codebase

Use the code-review-graph MCP tools to explore and understand the codebase.

Steps

1. Run list_graph_stats to see overall codebase metrics.
2. Run get_architecture_overview_tool for high-level community structure.
3. Use list_communities_tool to find major modules, then get_community for details.
4. Use semantic_search_nodes_tool to find specific functions or classes.
5. Use query_graph_tool with patterns like callers_of, callees_of, imports_of to trace relationships.
6. Use list_flows and get_flow to understand execution paths.

Tips

• Start broad (stats, architecture) then narrow down to specific areas.
• Use children_of on a file to see all its functions and classes.
• Use find_large_functions to identify complex code.

Token Efficiency Rules

• ALWAYS start with get_minimal_context(task="<your task>") before any other graph tool.
• Use detail_level="minimal" on all calls. Only escalate to "standard" when minimal is insufficient.
• Target: complete any review/debug/refactor task in ≤5 tool calls and ≤800 total output tokens.
