Roam Code functions as a structural intelligence engine, pre-indexing codebases into a local semantic graph comprising symbols, dependencies, call graphs, architecture layers, git history, and runtime traces. This graph allows AI agents to efficiently query structural information via CLI or MCP, eliminating the need for repetitive file grepping and reducing token costs. Unlike LSPs or hosted search solutions, Roam Code delivers offline, cross-language, and compact architecture-level graph queries, enabling advanced capabilities like architecture governance through budget gates, refactoring simulations, zero-conflict multi-agent orchestration, vulnerability path mapping, and graph-level code editing.
