Codexia 🔎

Universal Cross-IDE Code Archaeology & Forensic Intelligence Platform
Understand why code exists, how it evolved, what depends on it, and what could break if changed.

Codexia is an offline-first, forensic code intelligence extension. It combines AST static analysis, Git revision history, call graph dependency tracking, and multi-factor risk scoring to give engineers immediate context into complex codebases.


⚡ Key Features

  • 📖 Code Story: Uncover the origin story and chronological evolution of any function or class directly from Git history.
  • 💥 Blast Radius: Calculate exact structural dependents and affected test suites before modifying or refactoring a symbol.
  • 🕵️ Forensic Investigation (Who Broke This?): Trace when regressions were introduced, who touched lines, and how logic changed over time.
  • 🎯 Transparent Risk Scoring: Inspect 5-factor deterministic risk breakdown (0–100) combining churn, author count, complexity, test coverage, and fan-out.
  • 🧹 Dead Code & Duplication Detection: Spot unreferenced functions and structural copy-paste anti-patterns across your repository.
  • 🔒 100% Offline & Private: Zero data sent to cloud servers. Works completely locally with SQLite persistence.

🚀 Commands

Access via the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) or right-click any code selection:

Command Action
Codexia: Analyze Workspace Run fast AST + Git forensic indexing on the workspace
Codexia: Show Code Story Open visual timeline of how the selected function evolved
Codexia: Show Blast Radius View dependency graph and risk of editing the active symbol
Codexia: Investigate Changes Pinpoint the exact commit and context behind a line
Codexia: Analyze Risk Score Detailed breakdown of volatility and structural risk
Codexia: Find Dead Code Identify orphaned functions and unreachable exports
Codexia: Find Duplicates Detect near-identical code blocks across modules
Codexia: Inspect Architecture Map domain boundaries and package dependencies

⚙️ Settings

Customize Codexia in Preferences: Open Settings (UI) under Codexia:

  • codexia.ai.enabled: Enable optional local AI summaries (disabled by default for 100% offline privacy).
  • codexia.ai.provider: Choose AI provider (none, ollama, or openai).
  • codexia.ai.model: Model name (defaults to qwen2.5-coder:7b).
  • codexia.analysis.maxFiles: Maximum source files to analyze per workspace (default 10000).
