# 🗺️ CodeMap

**A lightweight index that makes LLM code exploration cheaper — not smarter.**

[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) [![Python 3.10+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.10+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/) [![Claude Code](https://img.shields.io/badge/Claude%20Code-Plugin-blueviolet)](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)

CodeMap does **not** try to understand your code, infer architecture, or decide what's relevant. That job belongs to the LLM.

CodeMap exists for one reason:

> **To make each step of an LLM's reasoning over a codebase cost fewer tokens.**

## The Problem

LLMs explore codebases iteratively. They:

1. Think about what they need
2. Read some code
3. Think again
4. Read more code
5. Repeat

The problem is that **reading code is expensive**.

Without help, an LLM often has to:
- Read entire files
- Re-read the same files after context resets
- Pull in large chunks "just in case"

This quickly leads to massive token usage—even when the LLM only needed a small part of each file.

---

## The Insight

LLMs don't need *less reasoning*. They need **cheaper reads**.

If you make each "read code" step smaller and more precise, the *same reasoning process* becomes dramatically cheaper.

**The bottleneck is not intelligence — it's I/O cost.**

That's what CodeMap fixes.

---

## What CodeMap Is (and Is Not)

### ✅ What CodeMap **is**

- A **structural index** of your codebase
- A fast way to locate **symbols and their exact line ranges**
- A tool that lets an LLM jump directly to relevant snippets
- A **cost-reduction layer** for iterative LLM reasoning

### ❌ What CodeMap is **not**

- Not a semantic analyzer
- Not an architecture inference engine
- Not a replacement for LSPs
- Not an agent
- Not "smart"

CodeMap does not decide *what* code matters. It only makes it cheaper to *read* the code the LLM decides to look at.

---

## How This Changes LLM Code Exploration

### Without CodeMap

```
LLM thinks
  → reads 5 full files (~30K tokens)
  → thinks
  → reads 3 more full files (~18K tokens)

Total: ~48K tokens
```

### With CodeMap

```
LLM thinks
  → queries symbols → reads 5 targeted snippets (~5K tokens)
  → thinks
  → queries again → reads 3 more snippets (~3K tokens)

Total: ~8K tokens
```

**Same reasoning. Same conclusions. ~83% fewer tokens.**

The LLM can always escalate: snippet → larger slice → full file. CodeMap never blocks access—it just makes precision cheap.

---

## 📊 Measured Impact

The savings compound across a session:

| Scenario | Without CodeMap | With CodeMap | Savings |
|----------|-----------------|--------------|---------|
| Single class lookup | 1,700 tokens | 1,000 tokens | **41%** |
| 10-file refactor | 51,000 tokens | 11,600 tokens | **77%** |
| 50-turn coding session | 70,000 tokens | 21,000 tokens | **70%** |

It's not about any single lookup. It's about making **every** lookup cheaper and letting those savings multiply.

---

## ⚡ Quick Start

### Install via pip or uv
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/AZidan/codemap.git
uv tool install codemap --from https://github.com/AZidan/codemap.git
```

### Use
```bash
codemap init .
codemap watch . &   # Keep index updated in background
codemap find "ClassName"
# → src/file.py:15-89 [class] ClassName

# Now the LLM reads only lines 15-89 instead of the entire file
```

---

## How It Works

1. CodeMap scans your repository and builds a **symbol index**
2. Each symbol is mapped to:
   - File path
   - Start line / end line
   - Type (function, class, method, etc.)
   - Signature and docstring (optional)
3. The index is stored locally under `.codemap/`
4. An LLM (or human) can:
   - Search for symbols by name
   - Read only the exact lines needed
   - Check if files changed without re-reading them
   - Repeat as part of its reasoning loop

No embeddings. No inference. No opinions.

---

## Commands

### `codemap init [PATH]`

Build the index for a directory.

```bash
codemap init                     # Index current directory
codemap init ./src               # Index specific directory
codemap init -l python           # Only Python files
codemap init -e "**/tests/**"    # Exclude patterns
```

### `codemap find QUERY`

Find symbols by name (case-insensitive substring match).

```bash
codemap find "UserService"              # Find by name
codemap find "process" --type method    # Filter by type
codemap find "handle" --type function   # Functions only
```

Output:
```
src/services/user.py:15-89 [class] UserService
src/services/user.py:20-45 [method] process_request
```

#### Fuzzy Search

Use `--fuzzy` (`-f`) for broader matching when exact/substring search isn't enough. Fuzzy search adds:

- **Word-level matching** — splits on spaces, hyphens, and underscores
- **Filename matching** — searches file names in addition to symbols
- **Docstring matching** — searches symbol documentation
- **Typo tolerance** — finds close matches using similarity scoring

Results are ranked by match quality (exact > substring > word overlap > fuzzy similarity).

```bash
codemap find "user service" --fuzzy     # Word-level match
codemap find "pricng" --fuzzy           # Typo tolerance
codemap find "monetization" --fuzzy     # Search docstrings
```

### `codemap show FILE`

Display file structure with symbols and line ranges.

```bash
codemap show src/services/user.py
```

Output:
```
File: src/services/user.py (hash: a3f2b8c1d4e5)
Lines: 542
Language: python

Symbols:
- UserService [class] L15-189
  (self, config: Config)
  # Handles user operations
  - __init__ [method] L20-35
  - get_user [method] L37-98
    (self, user_id: int) -> User
  - create_user [async_method] L100-145
    (self, data: dict) -> User
```

### `codemap validate [FILE]`

Check if indexed files have changed—**without re-reading them**.

```bash
codemap validate              # Check all files
codemap validate src/main.py  # Check specific file
```

Output:
```
Stale entries (2):
  - src/utils/helpers.py
  - src/models/user.py

Run 'codemap update --all' to refresh
```

This is where hash-based staleness detection saves tokens. The LLM can check if a file changed without paying to read it again.

### `codemap update [FILE] [--all]`

Update the index for changed files.

```bash
codemap update src/main.py    # Update single file
codemap update --all          # Update all stale files
```

### `codemap watch [PATH]`

Watch for file changes and update index in real-time.

```bash
codemap watch                 # Watch current directory
codemap watch ./src           # Watch specific directory
codemap watch -d 1.0          # 1 second debounce
codemap watch -q              # Quiet mode
```

Output:
```
Watching /path/to/project for changes...
Press Ctrl+C to stop

[14:30:15] Updated main.py (2 symbols changed)
[14:30:22] Updated utils.py
[14:31:05] Added new_module.py (3 symbols)
```

### `codemap stats`

Show statistics about the index.

```bash
codemap stats
```

Output:
```
CodeMap Statistics
========================================
Root: /path/to/project
Total files: 47
Total symbols: 382

Files by language:
  python: 35
  typescript: 10
  javascript: 2

Symbols by type:
  method: 245
  function: 67
  class: 42
  async_method: 13
```

### `codemap install-hooks`

Install git pre-commit hook for automatic updates.

```bash
codemap install-hooks
```

## 🔌 Claude Code Plugin

The plugin teaches [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) to use CodeMap automatically.

### Installation

```bash
# Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add AZidan/codemap

# Install the plugin
claude plugin install codemap
```

### What Changes

Once installed, Claude will:
1. Use `codemap find` to locate symbols instead of scanning files
2. Read only the relevant line ranges instead of full files
3. Use `codemap validate` to check staleness before re-reading
4. Auto-install the CLI if not present

The LLM's reasoning doesn't change—each step just gets cheaper.

### Manual Skill Installation

```bash
# Copy skill to your project
cp -r .claude/skills/codemap /path/to/your/project/.claude/skills/
```

See [plugin/README.md](plugin/README.md) for detailed documentation.

Language support is intentionally modular and extensible.

---

## Configuration

### Automatic .gitignore Support

CodeMap automatically respects your `.gitignore` file. Patterns from `.gitignore` are applied during indexing, so directories like `node_modules/`, `.venv/`, and `dist/` are excluded without any configuration.

### Custom Configuration

Create a `.codemaprc` file in your project root for additional options:

```yaml
# Languages to index
languages:
  - python
  - typescript
  - javascript
  - php

# Additional patterns to exclude (on top of .gitignore)
exclude:
  - "**/migrations/**"
  - "**/fixtures/**"

# Patterns to include (optional)
include:
  - "src/**"
  - "lib/**"

# Disable .gitignore support if needed (default: true)
respect_gitignore: false

# Truncate long docstrings
max_docstring_length: 150

# Output directory (default: .codemap)
output: .codemap
```

---

## Output Format

### Directory Structure

CodeMap uses distributed per-directory indexes for scalability:

```
project/
├── .codemap/
│   ├── .codemap.json           # Root manifest
│   ├── _root.codemap.json      # Files in project root
│   ├── src/
│   │   ├── .codemap.json       # Files in src/
│   │   └── components/
│   │       └── .codemap.json   # Files in src/components/
│   └── tests/
│       └── .codemap.json
├── src/
│   └── ...
└── tests/
    └── ...
```

### Index Format

Each `.codemap.json` contains:

```json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "generated_at": "2025-01-12T10:30:00Z",
  "directory": "src",
  "files": {
    "main.py": {
      "hash": "a3f2b8c1d4e5",
      "indexed_at": "2025-01-12T10:30:00Z",
      "language": "python",
      "lines": 150,
      "symbols": [
        {
          "name": "UserService",
          "type": "class",
          "lines": [10, 150],
          "docstring": "Handles user operations",
          "children": [
            {
              "name": "get_user",
              "type": "method",
              "lines": [25, 50],
              "signature": "(self, user_id: int) -> User"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## When CodeMap Is a Good Fit

- **Large repositories** where context limits matter
- **Long coding sessions** where savings compound
- **Refactoring tasks** that touch many files
- **Token-sensitive workflows** where API costs matter
- **200K context models** where every token counts

## When CodeMap Is Not the Right Tool

- **Small projects** that fit entirely in context anyway
- **Deep semantic analysis** — use LSP tools instead
- **Architecture inference** — CodeMap doesn't infer anything
- **1M token contexts** where limits rarely matter

CodeMap is deliberately simple.

---

## Comparison with Alternatives

| Feature | CodeMap | Aider RepoMap | Serena | RepoPrompt |
|---------|---------|---------------|--------|------------|
| **Approach** | Lookup index | Summarization | Semantic (LSP) | Context building |
| **Who decides relevance** | LLM | Tool (PageRank) | Tool | Tool |
| **Token cost model** | Per-lookup | Upfront | Per-query | Upfront |
| **Line-range precision** | ✅ Exact | ❌ Approximate | ❌ Full symbols | ❌ Full files |
| **Hash-based staleness** | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| **Watch mode** | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| **Setup complexity** | Low | Medium | High | Low |

The key difference: other tools try to predict what context matters. CodeMap lets the LLM decide, and just makes each decision cheaper to act on.

---

## Design Philosophy

> **Do one thing. Do it well. Stay dumb.**

CodeMap is intentionally:
- **Deterministic** — same query, same results
- **Transparent** — just file paths and line numbers
- **Predictable** — no inference, no surprises

It is a primitive—not a framework.

---

## Development
