You can NAME the symbol: who calls it, what it calls, the path from A to B, its full body, or an exact literal/regex match. 'Safe to change or rename X — what breaks downstream?' = the transitive blast radius, not 1-hop callers. Three or more symbols → --connect. Run the one verb that fits, then stop.
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
# Navigate with ripwire > Nearest neighbours: > • You DON'T know the symbol yet — orienting on a whole repo/subsystem → **ripwire-orient**. > • You have a symptom and need to FIND the buggy code → **ripwire-find-bug**. > • Your question needs to COMBINE conditions (cx + fanin + file + reachability) → **ripwire-graph-query**. > • "Is this diff safe to merge" (not "is it safe to touch this symbol") → **ripwire-change-check**. `<dir>` = the repo or subsystem. Calls are warm after the first parse. Tracing across a split service+client checkout — pass every root, `ripwire dir1 dir2 --impact=SYM` — the merged graph carries the cross-root evidence edges (include/import/FFI) a single-root call would never see. ## Keep the legend on the FIRST call, drop it on every call after Every XML verb prefixes its answer with a legend defining the attributes. You need it once. After that you are paying for prose you have already read — and the cost is worst on exactly the verbs you call most, because the legend is a fixed size while these answers are small. Measured on ripwire's own repo: | verb | saved by `--legend=compact` | | --- | --- | | `--callers=SYM` | **~70%** | …

How to install
mdr add redhat-et/ripwire/ripwire-navigate@sha256:d917a98d3063d43bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.de9d903, 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.
