CodeChronicle
AI-powered codebase analysis for VS Code with interactive dependency graphs, blast radius prediction, risk scoring, and natural-language exploration.
What It Does
- Dependency Graph: Visualize files and imports in an interactive graph.
- Blast Radius: See direct and transitive impact before editing a file.
- AI Summaries: Generate file and relationship summaries using Bedrock.
- AI Query: Ask codebase questions in plain English.
- Risk Map: View structural + AI risk and export risk reports.
- Credits & Billing: Buy credits from the website and sync usage with your extension account.
Credits and Billing Flow
