Answer structural questions about a codebase — what a symbol is, what calls it, what a change breaks, where the hotspots are — from a persistent code graph via the ix CLI, instead of grepping.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ix — Persistent Codebase Map Ix parses a repository with tree-sitter (27 languages) into a graph of symbols, calls and imports, kept in a local backend (ArangoDB via Docker) and persisted between sessions. Query it for structural answers — what a symbol is, what calls it, how a flow moves, what a change breaks, which files carry the most weight, where the smells are — instead of reading files to find out. It does not answer prose or history questions. ## First run ```bash bash scripts/bootstrap.sh [repo-root] [--no-map] # macOS / Linux / Git Bash powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/bootstrap.ps1 [repo-root] [-NoMap] # Windows ``` Checks Node >= 22, git, Docker and ripgrep, installs the CLI if missing, starts the backend, and maps the repo. Re-run it per repo. ## Core workflow | Step | Command | Example | |---|---|---| | Bounded context to start from | `ix context` | `ix context IngestionService` | | Start from an issue or bug report | `ix context --from-issue` | `ix context --from-issue issue.md` (or `-` for stdin) | | Understand a component | `ix explain` | `ix explain IngestionService` | …

How to install
mdr add ix-infrastructure/ix/ix@sha256:3c5956d88d8f7891The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
