Engram: Find

Map the architecture and trace the code graph for a new developer. Uses the engram MCP (which supersedes the old codegraph MCP).

When to use

• "I'm new to this codebase"
• "How does this project work?"
• "Explain the architecture"
• "Where do I start reading code?"

Prerequisites

Index first if needed: scan_repo({ "path": "..." }).

Workflow

1. Get the architecture map. Call architecture. Returns: central symbols, bridges, communities, stats — one call.

2. Deep-dive the top symbol. Call symbol_context on the highest-ranked central symbol. Returns: callers, callees, community — the "understand this = understand the system" symbol.

3. Assess critical paths. For bridge symbols, call change_impact. Returns: blast radius + dependency paths.

4. Get a context packet. Call get_context for a fused overview. Returns: recall (docs + memories) + code neighborhood (+ [Graph] links).

How to synthesize

Present a narrative onboarding guide with: module count, core abstractions (central symbols), critical paths (bridges), and where to start reading (the top symbol's context).

Tools

Tool	Purpose
scan_repo	Index the repo.
architecture	Central + bridges + communities + stats.
symbol_context	Deep-dive one symbol.
