code-understand
From the author
Map the load-bearing files, symbols, callers, and dependencies of an unfamiliar codebase before making changes. Use for architecture orientation, impact analysis, what-would-break questions, or finding callers. Uses CodeGraph when available and a dependency-free builtin fallback.
