Ix

Ix — Persistent Codebase Map

Overview

Ix parses a repository with tree-sitter (26 languages), builds a graph of its symbols, calls, and imports, and stores it in a local backend (ArangoDB via Docker). Query that graph with ix commands to answer bounded, structural questions instead of reading files blindly. The graph persists between sessions.

Use this skill whenever the question is about structure, relationships, or impact: what a symbol is, what calls it, what it calls, how data flows, what breaks if a change lands, which files are most depended-on, or where the smells are.
