About Flow
It's hard to build smart tools for dynamic languages like JavaScript. Flow understands your code and makes its knowledge available, enabling other smart tools to be built on top of Flow. Making major changes to large codebases can be scary. Flow helps you refactor safely, so you can focus on the changes you want to make, and stop worrying about what you might break. Working in a codebase with lots of developers can make it difficult to keep your master branch working. Flow can help prevent bad rebases. Flow can help protect your carefully designed library from misuse and misinterpretation. And Flow can help you understand the code you wrote six months ago.

Claude Code
Claude Code is an AI-powered coding agent designed to work directly inside your existing development environment. It goes beyond simple autocomplete by understanding entire codebases and helping developers build, debug, refactor, and ship features faster. Developers can interact with Claude Code from the terminal, IDEs, Slack, or the web, making it easy to stay in flow without switching tools. By describing tasks in natural language, users can let Claude handle code exploration, modifications, and explanations. Claude Code can analyze project structure, dependencies, and architecture to onboard developers quickly. It integrates with common command-line tools, version control systems, and testing workflows. This makes it a powerful companion for both individual developers and teams working on complex software projects.

Constellation
Graph-backed code intelligence for your AI assistant.
Constellation turns your codebase into a queryable knowledge graph, giving AI assistants the structural understanding they need to reason about real software — not just the plain text.
Why Constellation?
Text search tells you where a string appears, *everywhere* that string appears. Constellation tells you the exact location of the symbol in question, what it means, what calls it, and what breaks if you change it. Before your assistant edits a function, it can ask:
- Where is this defined, and where is it used across the codebase?
- What's the blast radius of this change?
- Which modules have circular dependencies or dead code?
- How does data flow through the call graph?
Answers come from a semantic graph, not a grep loop.
One Tool, Countless Capabilities
A single `code_intel` tool exposes a rich JavaScript API as a "Code Mode" tool, allowing AI agents to craft complex composite queries.

Amp
Amp is a frontier coding agent built to give developers full access to the power of today’s leading AI models directly in their workflow. Available in the terminal and popular editors like VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, JetBrains, and Neovim, Amp integrates seamlessly into existing development environments. It enables developers to delegate complex coding tasks, refactors, reviews, and explorations to intelligent agents that understand and operate across entire codebases. With support for advanced models such as Claude Opus, Gemini, and GPT-class models, Amp delivers fast, reliable, and highly agentic code generation. The platform is designed for real-world engineering work, handling multi-file changes, deep context, and iterative improvements. Amp helps developers move faster while maintaining confidence in code quality.

CodeSee
Quickly identify cross-code dependencies and navigate between files and folders. With insights to improve your understanding of the codebase and guide onboarding, planning, and reviews. Auto-generated, self-updating software architecture diagrams that sync to the codebase as your code evolves. With features to help you understand how files and folders are connected, see how a change fits into the larger architecture, and more. CodeSee Maps are automatically generated and updated every time a code change is merged, so you never have to worry about manually refreshing your Map. Using the Maps Insights panel, you can quickly visualize the most active areas of the codebase and get details on individual files and folders, including their age and how many lines of code they represent. Create visual walkthroughs of your code, using Tours to communicate ideal code paths, user flows, and more—and Tour Alerts will help you to ensure your Tours are always up to date.
