The TS/JS-accurate repo map for your coding agent — a compiler-grade ts-morph import/symbol graph that answers "where is it / what breaks / does this already exist" in ~98% fewer context tokens.
Your AI coding agent re-learns your codebase every session — opening files and grepping to find
what connects to what, burning tokens before it writes a line. agentmap gives it a queryable,
ranked code-relationship map for TypeScript/JavaScript repos instead — a ts-morph import/symbol
graph (the real TypeScript compiler, so aliases, vite/webpack resolve.alias, package.json
#imports subpaths, and workspace cross-package imports all resolve) ranked by personalized
PageRank. Ask it to "add a field" or "fix the login bug" and it
finds the right files, their imports, and what already exists in
~98% fewer context tokens on average (up to ~99.9% per task; figures are chars/4 estimates applied equally to both sides) — kept current by a post-commit
auto-refresh and actually used via a PreToolUse(Grep) hook.
agentmap's wedge in one line: it's the TS/JS-accurate repo map — a real TypeScript-compiler graph, not a tree-sitter approximation — with a published, honest accuracy eval to back it. That precision is the point; the auto-refresh/nudge wiring below is convenience, not the moat.
One file, one runtime dependency (
ts-morph, which bundles the TypeScript compiler — ~10 MB installed). No vector DB, no embedding API, no server.npx @raymondchins/agentmap --any <query>and you have a ranked answer.Fully local — no network calls, no telemetry, no data leaves your machine. agentmap reads your code, writes a cache under
.claude/agentmap/, and never phones home (there is not a singlefetch/httpcall in the source). Your code is never sent anywhere.
⚠️ Always install the scoped name:@raymondchins/agentmap.npx agentmap(unscoped) runs an unrelated package by a different author — this project is@raymondchins/agentmap, and the scoped name is required in every install and command.npmjs.com/package/@raymondchins/agentmap
Every task you hand a coding agent starts with the same hidden step — find the relevant code.
Here's the token cost of that step, reading raw files vs querying agentmap, on a real 154-file
Next.js app (vercel/ai-chatbot). Every figure is captured
tool output (node benchmark/bench.mjs <repo> at the pinned sha):
| The question the agent has to answer first | Reading files | With agentmap | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where is this symbol defined? | 1,950 | 20 | 99% |
| Does a helper for this already exist? (reuse) | 14,740 | 19 | 99.9% |
| What breaks if I change this file? (blast radius) | 81,038 | 616 | 99.2% |
| What files make up this feature? | 6,121 | 1,025 | 83.3% |
| Give me a repo overview | 3,065 | 1,127 | 63.2% |
| Load the whole repo into context | 150,281 | 1,127 | 99.3% |
| What does this one file import? | 583 | 517 | 11.3% |
| All 7 tasks combined | 257,778 | 4,451 | 98.3% |
Context tokens the agent burns to answer each question — token est = chars/4, applied to both sides.
That's the agent reaching the same answer on 58× fewer tokens overall — and the pattern holds
across zod (367 files, 99.2%) and
taxonomy (125 files, 96.0%), peaking at 646× fewer
on a single whole-repo map. Reproducible at pinned shas; full per-scenario tables in
./benchmark/RESULTS.md.
Methodology note: the 58× overall figure is dominated by the whole-repo-load scenario (Scenario F — 150 K vs 1 K tokens), which skews the combined ratio sharply upward. Excluding it, the per-task overall ratio on the same sample repo is approximately 32×. Both numbers are real; the headline captures the most common agent worst-case (repo-dump on session start), while the per-task average better represents typical individual queries. RESULTS.md has the full breakdown.
Fewer tokens, but are they the right tokens? Token efficiency is only half the story — a
separate EVAL.md (npm run eval) scores retrieval accuracy against ground
truth derived live from real repos (zod, zustand, hono). Headline: agentmap returns the symbol
definition in the top 3 ~95% of the time (naive grep ~79%) at ~2.6× fewer tokens, and
identifies a module's dependents at ~100% precision (grep ~58%). Honest tradeoffs and method
in EVAL.md.
Speed: a cold build (parse + PageRank + symbol graph) takes ~1.2s; a warm cached query returns in ~0.1s (the lazy-loaded path added in 0.2.2) — the agent has a ranked answer back before it would have finished opening the first handful of files.
Honest notes: the win scales with the work — the small rows above (63%, 11%) are the floor, and a
trivial single-file lookup can even cost more than cat+grep (taxonomy's file-import task
hit −313%; we leave it in). Numbers measure context-token volume, not answer quality or wall-clock.
Many "repo context" tools are a photocopy: they dump your repository (or a slice of it) into the prompt once and walk away — the copy goes stale the moment you edit a file, and nothing makes the agent actually read it. agentmap is queryable and ranked instead: the agent interrogates it flag-by-flag rather than swallowing a dump.
But the real reason to reach for agentmap is accuracy. It's built on ts-morph — the actual
TypeScript compiler — so its import graph resolves the things a text/tree-sitter scanner guesses
at: tsconfig/jsconfig paths, vite/vitest/webpack resolve.alias, package.json Node
#imports subpaths, and pnpm/npm/yarn workspace cross-package imports. It reports an
edgeCoverage map-health signal and warns loudly when a repo's imports mostly don't resolve,
so a broken map is never framed as success — and a separate EVAL.md scores
retrieval accuracy against live ground truth. That compiler-grade precision on TS/JS is the wedge.
The self-refreshing side — a post-commit rebuild plus a PreToolUse hook that steers the agent
to the map before it serial-greps — is genuinely useful, but it isn't unique: CodeGraph
(colbymchenry/codegraph, ~57k★) ships a native
OS-event file watcher (FSEvents/inotify) with debounced auto-sync and an installer that
auto-configures eight agent CLIs. agentmap's honest edge over the multi-language graph tools is
narrower and sharper: TS/JS resolution the others approximate, with a published accuracy eval.

What that table is not claiming: agentmap is TS/JS-only (the others are multi-language),
and it's a file-level import graph, not a full call-site/reference resolver (see
Scope & limitations). The differentiators are narrow and honest:
(1) compiler-grade TS/JS resolution (aliases, vite/webpack, #imports, workspaces) with a
published accuracy eval, and (2) the --any router. The agent-loop wiring is real and
convenient but not unique — CodeGraph and others
auto-sync and auto-configure agent CLIs too; we don't claim it as a moat.
A common failure of repo-map tools: they build a beautiful map, and then the agent forgets it exists and greps anyway. A map the agent doesn't open is just dead weight.
agentmap closes that loop. Two hooks (in ./hooks/) do the work: the map
refreshes itself after every commit, and the agent gets nudged to query it before it
serial-greps. You wire it once — then it stays current on its own, and stays used.
This wiring is table stakes, not the moat — CodeGraph and other tools also auto-sync (via native OS file watchers) and auto-configure agent CLIs. agentmap ships it because it's genuinely useful; the actual point of agentmap is the compiler-grade TS/JS accuracy the map is built on.
hooks/post-commit rebuilds .claude/agentmap/map.json after each
commit, detached + silenced so it never slows the commit. It skips during
rebase/merge/cherry-pick and no-ops if Node is missing.
The hooks ship inside the npm package. The simplest setup:
npx @raymondchins/agentmap --install-hooksThis copies hooks/post-commit into .git/hooks/, sets it executable, ensures
.claude/agentmap/ is in .gitignore, and auto-wires the PreToolUse nudge
hook into .claude/settings.json (merge-safe + idempotent) so map enforcement is
on by default — no manual paste. Manual alternative for just the post-commit hook:
# from your repo root
cp hooks/post-commit .git/hooks/post-commit
chmod +x .git/hooks/post-commitThe hook resolves the builder to the installed package — node_modules/.bin/agentmap,
a PATH agentmap binary verified to be @raymondchins/agentmap, then
npx @raymondchins/agentmap. It never runs a repo-local ./agentmap.mjs unless you opt in
with AGENTMAP_HOOK_ALLOW_LOCAL=1 (for developing agentmap itself), so an
attacker-planted agentmap.mjs can't execute on your next commit.
hooks/agentmap-nudge.mjs is a non-blocking hook for
Claude Code that covers both the Grep tool and raw Bash text-searchers
(grep/rg/egrep/fgrep/ag/ack). When either looks like a dependency /
who-imports / component-usage / reuse / where-is-symbol search, it injects a reminder
steering the agent to agentmap --any first. It never denies the call, and stays silent
for raw-string / Tailwind-class / lowercase-HTML-tag sweeps and for pipe-filtered commands
like ps aux | grep node — so it's high-signal, not nagging.
Fires on: import/require/export/from '...' patterns, JSX component tags
(<Hero, <ProviderCard), explicit intent words (where is, who imports, reuse,
existing component), and — in both the Grep tool and the Bash branch — bare multi-hump
PascalCase identifiers (ProviderCard, TopProviders) that almost always mean "where is
this symbol / who uses it". The Bash branch additionally only fires when the searcher is the primary command (at the start,
or after ;/&&); piped log-filters stay silent.
--install-hooks writes both matchers into .claude/settings.json for you (merge-safe —
preserves existing settings, won't duplicate on re-run). The single hook file dispatches
internally on tool_name. For reference, or to wire it by hand:
{
"hooks": {
"PreToolUse": [
{
"matcher": "Grep",
"hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "node ./hooks/agentmap-nudge.mjs" }]
},
{
"matcher": "Bash",
"hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "node ./hooks/agentmap-nudge.mjs" }]
}
]
}
}That's the "forced to use it" in the tagline: the map stays current on its own, and the agent is steered to it the moment it reaches for a dependency-shaped grep or Bash search.
npx @raymondchins/agentmap --install-skill…or grab just the skill (no agentmap flags) via the skills
CLI — agentmap ships the skills/agentmap/SKILL.md layout it expects:
npx skills add raymondchins/agentmap--install-skill copies packaged SKILL.md files and a Cursor rule (.cursor/rules/agentmap.mdc,
alwaysApply: true) into the current repo or global agent directories. Paths follow
each platform's official skill-directory conventions. Options:
agentmap --install-skill --platform cursor # Cursor rule only (project)
agentmap --install-skill --platform claude # .claude/skills/agentmap/SKILL.md
agentmap --install-skill --platform codex # .codex/skills/ (project) or ~/.codex/skills/ (global)
agentmap --install-skill --platform opencode # .opencode/skills/ (project) or ~/.config/opencode/skills/ (global)
agentmap --install-skill --platform gemini # .gemini/skills/ (project); global ~/.gemini/skills/ (Windows global: ~/.agents/skills/)
agentmap --install-skill --platform antigravity # .agents/skills/ (project) or ~/.gemini/config/skills/ (global)
agentmap --install-skill --platform copilot # .copilot/skills/ or ~/.copilot/skills/
agentmap --install-skill --global --platform claude # ~/.claude/skills/...
agentmap --install-skill --platform agents # legacy .agents/skills/ (project or global); excluded from default `all`
agentmap --install-skill --dry-run # preview paths, no writes--platform all installs: claude, cursor, codex, opencode, gemini, antigravity, copilot (not legacy agents).
Some platforms also get always-on docs and hooks in the same command:
--platform |
Skill | Also installs (project) | Global docs |
|---|---|---|---|
gemini |
.gemini/skills/…/SKILL.md |
GEMINI.md + .gemini/settings.json BeforeTool nudge |
~/.gemini/GEMINI.md |
codex |
.codex/skills/…/SKILL.md |
AGENTS.md merge-safe <!-- agentmap:begin/end --> block |
~/.codex/AGENTS.md |
opencode |
.opencode/skills/…/SKILL.md |
AGENTS.md + .opencode/plugins/agentmap-nudge.js |
~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md |
Codex and OpenCode share one repo-root AGENTS.md on project install. Existing content outside the marked block is preserved.
Pair with --install-hooks (Claude Code) or --mcp (Cursor MCP).
Prefer the plugin over --install-skill/--install-hooks if you're on Claude Code and
want the skill, the PreToolUse grep/Bash nudge, and the stdio MCP server in a single
install that auto-updates:
# in Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add raymondchins/agentmap
/plugin install agentmap@agentmapThe plugin bundles: the packaged SKILL.md, the PreToolUse nudge (both the Grep
tool and Bash text-searchers, via ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}), and the stdio MCP server
(npx -y @raymondchins/agentmap --mcp, so ts-morph is fetched on demand — the plugin
cache ships no node_modules).
One thing the plugin can't do: install the git
post-commithook. Claude Code plugins can't write into.git/hooks/, so the auto-refresh-on-commit still needs a one-timenpx @raymondchins/agentmap --install-hooksin each repo (it also wires the nudge into.claude/settings.json, harmlessly redundant with the plugin's copy). Without it the map still rebuilds on any dirty query — you just lose the commit-time refresh.
Enforcement isn't uniform — some CLIs get a live hook that actively steers grep to agentmap, some get an MCP server the agent can call, and some are docs-only (a skill/rule the agent may or may not consult). Honest matrix:
| Platform | Install | Enforcement | Known gaps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | /plugin install agentmap@agentmap (or --install-hooks) |
live hook — PreToolUse nudge on Grep + Bash searchers |
non-blocking (never denies grep); bare-symbol Grep nudge requires the #3 hook fix |
| Gemini CLI | --install-skill --platform gemini |
live hook — .gemini/settings.json nudge |
fires on the AfterTool/systemMessage path (the earlier BeforeTool + additionalContext combo was silently dropped — fixed in #4) |
| OpenCode | --install-skill --platform opencode |
log-only — .opencode/plugins/agentmap-nudge.js writes to the log, does not inject context |
plugin can't steer the model; relies on the AGENTS.md block being read |
| Cursor | --install-skill --platform cursor + .cursor/mcp.json (below) |
MCP + docs — alwaysApply rule + the MCP server |
Cursor's own hooks aren't wired; the rule is advisory |
| Codex CLI | --install-skill --platform codex |
live gate — .codex/config.toml PreToolUse hook |
denies only high-confidence structural greps; allow-fallback for logs/pipes/non-TS-JS; AGENTMAP_CODEX_GATE=0 bypasses; needs a trusted dir + Codex hooks-GA |
| Copilot CLI | --install-skill --platform copilot |
docs-only — .copilot/skills/ |
same as Codex — no live hook yet |
Cursor MCP — copy-paste .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor's --mcp wiring is a documented
dead-end otherwise; drop this at your repo root):
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentmap": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@raymondchins/agentmap", "--mcp"]
}
}
}Then Cursor exposes the 8 query tools (any, find, relates, map, hubs,
features, feature, symbols). Run agentmap --doctor any time to see what's wired
vs missing.
No install needed:
npx @raymondchins/agentmap --any <query>…or run it directly from a checkout:
node agentmap.mjs --any <query>The first run builds and caches the map to .claude/agentmap/map.json (add
.claude/agentmap/ to .gitignore). Subsequent runs serve the cache when the tree is clean and HEAD is
unchanged, and silently rebuild from disk when there are uncommitted .ts/.tsx/.js/...
edits — so queries always reflect your in-flight work.
Run with no flag to build + print a one-line summary:
$ node agentmap.mjs
agentmap: 154 files | 4 features | top hub: lib/utils.ts (deg 52, pr 0.105171)
Don't want to learn eight flags? You don't have to. Throw anything at --any — a filename, a
function, a feature, even a raw string — and it figures out what you meant, returning the first
layer that hits:
--any <query>
│
├─ 1. FILE exact path → unique basename → unique substring
├─ 2. SYMBOL exported name contains the query (across all files)
├─ 3. FEATURE app/-router feature name contains the query
└─ 4. CONTENT live `git grep` (tracked + untracked) — never stale
Layers 1–3 read the cached structural map (fast, ranked). Layer 4 is a live disk read
via git grep -F, so raw strings, copy, Tailwind classes, and config values the structural
graph never indexes still resolve instead of coming up empty.
Symbol hit (query resolved to a symbol → full block):
$ node agentmap.mjs --any cn
[structure] 1 symbol, 0 feature match for "cn"
lib/utils.ts → cn (FunctionDeclaration)
Ambiguous file hit (query matched multiple files → narrow it):
$ node agentmap.mjs --any utils
[structure] "utils" matched 3 files — narrow it:
lib/utils.ts
lib/db/utils.ts
tests/prompts/utils.ts
Content fallback (no file/symbol/feature match → live git-grep):
$ node agentmap.mjs --any streamText
[content] 13 lines:
app/(chat)/api/chat/route.ts:8: streamText,
app/(chat)/api/chat/route.ts:194: const result = streamText({

Who actually calls a symbol, resolved by the TypeScript language service (ts-morph
findReferencesAsNodes) — not tree-sitter name-matching. This is symbol-level blast radius:
a type-position mention (typeof foo), a re-export, a bare value reference (const x = foo),
or a same-named private local in another file is a different symbol and is never
mis-attributed. --in <path> disambiguates a name defined in more than one file (exported
definitions win over same-named private locals); results are ranked by caller-file PageRank
and capped.
$ node agentmap.mjs --callers getMessageByErrorCode

A deliberate deep query: it lazily spins up the TS type-checker (a few seconds on a large
repo) only when invoked — the map build and every other query never pay that cost, and
nothing is persisted. Accurate on statically-resolvable calls; dynamic dispatch, reflection,
and string-keyed access are beyond any static tool. Also available as the callers MCP tool.
The companion to --callers: which in-project symbols a symbol invokes. Each call and
new X() site inside its body is resolved by the type checker (getDefinitionNodes), which
follows an imported / re-exported binding through to the real declaration — so a same-named
local elsewhere is never confused for the imported one. node_modules and TypeScript
built-ins (console.log, Array.map, …) are excluded; dynamic dispatch, computed member
access, and higher-order callees are honestly skipped.

Same lazy, out-of-band model as --callers (builds a Project only on the query, nothing

Going transitive — --depth N. Both --callers and --calls accept --depth N
(default 1, max 5) for an N-hop closure: --callers foo --depth 3 is the transitive
blast radius ("everything that reaches foo, up to 3 hops"); --calls foo --depth 3 is
the dependency cone ("everything foo pulls in"). It BFS-traverses the same single warm
Project — no extra build — with cycle detection and node caps so a hub can't explode; each
result is tagged with its depth and a via parent. --depth 1 is the default single-hop
query.

# ~324 tokens (8 files shown)
Dumps the cached map (hubs, features, rankedSymbols, files) as one JSON object —
for piping into other tools. Also includes a top-level fileCount.
$ node agentmap.mjs --print | jq '.hubs[0]'

| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--help / -h |
Print a usage block listing every flag and exit 0. |
--version / -v |
Print the version from package.json and exit 0. |
--json |
Global modifier. When present, every command prints exactly one JSON object to stdout (no prose). Shapes vary per command: --json --hubs → {command,fileCount,sha,hubs:[string]}, --json --find X → {command,query,matches:[{file,name,kind}]}, --json --relates X → {command,file,pagerank,exports,imports,dependents,related}, --json --any X → {command,query,kind,…payload}, etc. Bare --json (no query flag) → {command:"build",fileCount,features,topHub}. |
--install-hooks [--dry-run] |
Copy hooks/post-commit into .git/hooks/ (chmod 0755), ensure .claude/agentmap/ is in .gitignore, and auto-wire the Claude Code PreToolUse(Grep) nudge into .claude/settings.json (merge-safe + idempotent). --dry-run previews without writing. Exit 0 on success, stderr + exit 3 on failure. |
--hook-status |
Report whether the post-commit hook, PreToolUse nudge, and .gitignore entry are installed (no writes). |
--doctor |
Read-only harness health report: git/Claude hook wiring, installed skills + Cursor rule freshness vs package.json version, MCP config entries for OpenCode/Antigravity, and map-cache presence/freshness hints. Always exits 0; suggests fix commands (agentmap --install-hooks, --install-skill, --setup-mcp, agentmap) but never runs them. Combine with --json for a structured report. |
--install-skill |
Install skills + always-on docs/hooks per platform (--platform claude|cursor|codex|opencode|gemini|antigravity|copilot|agents|all, default all; --project default, or --global; --dry-run preview). |
--setup-mcp [--dry-run] |
Configure agentmap as an MCP server for OpenCode and the Antigravity IDE (merge-safe). --dry-run previews without writing. |
--mcp |
Start agentmap as a stdio MCP server so non-Claude-Code agents (Cursor, Cline, any MCP client) can query the map. Exposes 8 query tools — any, find, relates, map, hubs, features, feature, symbols. |
Exit-code contract: 0 = success / match / help / version; 1 = query returned zero results (--any, --find, --relates, --feature with no match, or --map --focus that resolves to no file — the global digest still prints, with focusResolved:false in --json); 2 = usage error (missing required arg, unknown flag, two commands at once, or a sub-flag without its parent command); 3 = maintenance command failed (--install-hooks, --install-skill, --setup-mcp, --hook-status, --mcp). Any token starting with - that matches no known flag prints an error to stderr and exits 2.
Honesty first — this is deliberately a small, sharp tool, not a universal code-graph.
- TS/JS (+ Vue SFC), by design. Built on
ts-morph. Indexes.ts/.tsx/.mts/.cts/.js/.jsx/.mjs/.cjsand the<script>blocks of.vuesingle-file components (best-effort). No Python, Go, Rust, etc. — if your repo isn't TypeScript/JavaScript, use a tree-sitter-based tool instead. Support for other languages is a possible future direction. - The persisted map is a file-level import graph; the call graph is opt-in. The
cached map's edges come from static
import/ re-export declarations and the named symbols crossing them —--relatesanswers the file-level question ("who imports this module"). Symbol-level, compiler-accurate call-site resolution is available on demand via--callers(who calls a symbol) and--calls(what a symbol invokes) — both experimental, lazy, out-of-band queries that spin up the type-checker only when invoked and are never folded into the fast map build. - Alias & workspace resolution. Resolves
tsconfig/jsconfigpaths,vite/vitest/webpackresolve.alias(string entries, parsed from the AST — the config is never executed), and pnpm/npm/yarn workspace cross-package imports (@org/pkg→ its source). A build reportsedgeCoverage(the share of repo-local imports that resolved) and prints a one-line warning when a repo's imports mostly don't resolve — so a broken/empty map is never silently framed as success. - Scoping —
.agentmapignore+.d.ts. Generated.d.tsdeclaration files are excluded from the symbol ranking by default (so a 200-symbol generated types file, ornext-env.d.ts, doesn't flood--find/--symbols/--hubs);--include-dtsrestores them, and they stay live import-resolution targets either way. A repo-root.agentmapignore(gitignore-style subset: anchored/, dir/,*globs,#comments) excludes extra paths. - PageRank + symbol ranking are real and implemented (damping 0.85, deterministic
power iteration; personalized variants for
--relatesand--map --focus). The symbol ranking is a faithful port of Aider's identifier-graph approach (credit: Aider, Apache-2.0). - Feature detection assumes the Next.js
app/router.--feature/--featuresderive features from the first real route segment underapp/(orsrc/app/), skipping route groups(...), dynamic[...], and parallel@...segments. Repos without anapp/directory simply report zero features — every other command still works. - Token counts are estimates (
chars / 4), not a real BPE tokenizer. Treat--map/--tokensbudgets as approximate (±10%). - The PreToolUse hook is Claude Code-specific (it speaks Claude Code's hook JSON). The post-commit hook is generic git.
Issues and PRs welcome. High-value directions:
- Retrieval-accuracy eval — done (
EVAL.md,npm run eval). Next: a type-aware dependents mode (the eval excludes type-only edges to match the value-import graph) and anapp/-router fixture so--featureretrieval can be scored too. - A real tokenizer behind the
--mapbudget. - Hardening feature detection for non-
app/-router layouts.
Keep the dependency footprint minimal — ts-morph is the only runtime dependency (it bundles
the TypeScript compiler, ~10 MB installed), and keeping it that way is a feature.
