About

Brokk is an AI-native code assistant built to handle large, complex codebases by giving language models compiler-grade understanding of code structure, semantics, and dependencies. It enables context management by selectively loading summaries, diffs, or full files into a workspace so that the AI sees just the relevant portions of a million-line codebase rather than everything. Brokk supports actions such as Quick Context, which suggests files to include based on embeddings and structural relevance; Deep Scan, which uses more powerful models to recommend which files to edit or summarize further; and Agentic Search, allowing multi-step exploration of symbols, call graphs, or usages across the project. The architecture is grounded in static analysis via Joern (offering type inference beyond simple ASTs) and uses JLama for fast embedding inference to guide context changes. Brokk is offered as a standalone Java application (not an IDE plugin) to let users supervise AI workflows clearly.

About

Understand is a comprehensive static-analysis and code-comprehension platform that helps software engineers “see” and understand large, complex code bases, whether legacy, safety-critical, or modern multi-language projects. It parses your source code and builds a complete “code dictionary” of every entity (files, classes, functions, variables), populating cross-references, call trees, dependency graphs, control-flow diagrams, and more. Through interactive, customizable graphs and visualizations, call graphs, control flow graphs, dependency trees, and UML-style class diagrams, you can explore exactly how parts of the code connect, which modules depend on which, and where changes may ripple across the project. Understand also computes detailed metrics at various levels (file, class, function) such as cyclomatic complexity, lines of code, comment-to-code ratio, coupling/cohesion, and other maintainability indicators; these metrics can be viewed in treemaps, exported to HTML or CSV.
