# Self-driving codebases: a map, agent memory and no code rot

Graphify [walks through how it gives coding agents a map of your code and a memory that sticks to it](<https://graphify.com/blog/self-driving-codebases>). The walkthrough responds to Detail's essay on self-driving codebases. It describes capabilities Graphify already has and doesn't announce a new release.

Graphify parses your repositories into a graph of functions, classes, files, calls, and imports. It rebuilds on every push to your default branch and only reprocesses the files that changed. You can combine up to 100 repositories into one graph to follow a change across services. Agents connect through the hosted MCP server at api.graphify.com/mcp. You sign in with OAuth, so there's no API key to paste. Graphify lists Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, JetBrains, Gemini CLI, and ChatGPT as working clients.

The example is a missing auth check. You ask the agent to run graphify\_callers on deleteRecords, then graphify\_trace from each route handler that reaches it, and report which paths never pass through requireAdmin. Before a change, graphify\_impact with include\_risk lists callers and callees around a symbol and ranks hotspot files by test coverage. graphify\_tests\_for lists the tests linked to that code.

Graphify Memory attaches facts to the function, class, or file they describe instead of to a chat log. The recall tool takes the paths and symbols an agent is about to edit and returns notes about that code first. A fact saved with remember arrives as a suggestion, and a teammate keeps it, edits it, or discards it. If the code changes after a fact was saved, Graphify flags it for a recheck. When two current versions of a fact disagree, agents use neither until someone picks one.

Connectors cover context outside the repo. Google Drive documents show up next to your code. Slack answers questions from the code graph with sources, and it's on every plan including Free. Sentry (start a fix from an issue and get a draft pull request) and Buildkite (run only the tests a pull request can affect) are in early access.
