ARCLUX – dependency graph & impact analysis for your codebase
I've been building ARCLUX — a repository intelligence tool (CLI + web dashboard) that maps your codebase into a dependency graph, traces impact ("what breaks if I touch this file?"), and runs 18 structural detectors (circular deps, dead code, orphan files, layer violations, etc).
**Verified at meaningful scale** — microsoft/vscode, facebook/react, and vitejs/vite all analyze successfully, not just small toy fixtures.
**Language support:**
- TypeScript, JavaScript, Python — full support
- Go, Java — parsing works, but same-package calls with no import statement (common in both languages) aren't resolved as edges yet
**Honest state (this is `v0.1.0-alpha`):**
- Very large/unusual repos (10k+ files, heavy monorepos) can currently time out or fail without a clear error — no size guard or progress streaming yet, that's next
- Some packages (search, persistent caching) are still stubs
I'm not trying to compete with enterprise tooling — this started as a personal project to actually understand codebases I work in, and it grew from there.
Would love feedback, bug reports, or PRs if any of this is useful to you.
