# Codebase call graph and architectural decision mapper

Trace function dependencies and surface team architectural notes before modifying code

- ResultProvide impact report and patch

When tackling complex code tasks, the bot analyzes the repository call graph to identify relevant entry points and downstream impacts. It cross-references previous architectural decisions and documented constraints to ensure proposed edits follow existing conventions without breaking dependent callers.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Inspect the repository structure and call hierarchy using terminal commands before editing files. Locate all callers and dependents of targeted functions. Review recorded architectural notes relevant to the affected modules. If a planned update changes external signatures or conflicts with recorded decisions, highlight the discrepancy. Always ask for user confirmation before applying code changes or opening pull requests.
