Depwire — Dependency Intelligence for AI Coding Agents
Give your AI agent a map of your codebase.
Stop blind refactoring. Start safe.
What is Depwire?
Depwire builds a deterministic dependency graph of your codebase and exposes it as an interactive visualization and analysis suite — directly inside VSCode.
Unlike RAG-based tools, Depwire parses your actual code (not embeddings) to give AI agents exact impact analysis, blast radius detection, and architectural intelligence.
