CodeChronicle
AI-Powered Codebase Analysis for VS Code
Visualize your codebase as an interactive dependency graph, predict blast radius of changes, and explore your code with natural language queries — all powered by AWS Bedrock AI.
Features
Interactive Dependency Graph
- Visualize file dependencies as a dynamic, force-directed graph
- Color-coded nodes by file type (JS, TS, Python, Java, CSS, HTML, and more)
- Search and filter files instantly
- Click any node to see detailed file information
Blast Radius Analysis
- Select any file and instantly see what would be affected if it changes
- Understand direct and transitive dependencies at a glance
- Prioritize code reviews and testing based on impact
AI-Powered Summaries
- Get plain-English explanations of what any file does
- Automatic risk assessment for every file in your project
- Powered by Amazon Bedrock (Nova models)
Natural Language Queries
- Ask questions about your codebase in plain English
- "Which files would break if I change utils.js?"
- "What does the authentication module do?"
- "Show me the most critical files in this project"
Risk Map
- Visual heatmap of risk across your entire codebase
- Identifies high-risk files based on dependency count, centrality, and complexity
- Helps you focus testing and review efforts where they matter most
Getting Started
- Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace
- Open any project in VS Code
- Open the Command Palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
- Run CodeChronicle: Show Graph
- Click Scan Workspace to analyze your project
Supported Languages
CodeChronicle analyzes dependencies across 15+ languages:
JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C/C++, Go, Ruby, PHP, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Scala, Dart, CSS/SCSS, HTML, and more.
Requirements
- VS Code 1.85.0 or higher
- Internet connection for AI features (graph and blast radius work offline)
