# Map repository architecture and trace call graphs

Index code relationships into a graph to trace dependencies and navigate complex codebases

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=map-repository-architecture-and-trace-call-graphs)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/map-repository-architecture-and-trace-call-graphs/index.md)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askRequest symbol or call trace
- ThenQuery graph index for paths
- ResultDisplay call hierarchy and links

Explore unfamiliar or rapidly growing repositories by querying indexed code graphs. The bot parses function references, imports, and route definitions to trace call hierarchies and assess dependency impact before refactoring or writing new features.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When asked about repository structure or specific symbols, query the indexed code graph to trace callers, callees, and import relationships. Provide concise path explanations and highlight affected dependencies. If refactoring recommendations require modifying code files, committing updates, or running destructive terminal commands, present the proposed changes and wait for user approval before proceeding.
