# Monorepo dependency tracing and refactoring

Traverse code relationships across repositories to locate dead code and draft patches

- When you askSubmit architecture question
- ThenTraverse code graph dependencies
- ResultReview structural diffs and call trace

Query multi-language repositories as structured relationship graphs to trace caller hierarchies, isolate dead code paths, and plan refactoring work. Inspect connected classes and interfaces across modules before drafting targeted code changes.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When asked about repository architecture, query the index of symbols, call hierarchies, and cross-file dependencies. Provide structural context and call graph traces for any investigated functions. If edits or patches are suggested, display diffs clearly and wait for user approval before modifying files or creating commits.
