OpenCodeViz

AI-powered local code graph visualization and codebase Q&A for real repositories.

codeviz-ai is the npm package name used for publishing. codeviz remains the CLI command.

OpenCodeViz UI

Language: English | 中文

English

Overview

OpenCodeViz scans source code and Markdown documents, stores versioned analysis snapshots in .codeviz/, parses supported languages with an AST-first pipeline, resolves cross-file relations deterministically, and uses LLMs only where they still add value: legacy llm extraction mode, unresolved fallback in hybrid mode, and project Q&A.

Features

Multi-language repository scanning
AST-first extraction currently implemented for Python (.py, .pyi), JavaScript (.js, .mjs, .cjs), JSX (.jsx), TypeScript (.ts), and TSX (.tsx)
Interactive code visualization (graph view) for exploring entities and relationships
Architecture diagrams (module/package dependency layouts and visual summaries)
Flow diagrams (call and data flow visualizations across files and services)
Versioned analysis snapshots
Project Q&A based on the latest snapshot

Analysis Architecture

The current analysis pipeline is:

discover files, fingerprints, and Markdown documents
parse supported source files with tree-sitter based AST extractors
resolve same-file and cross-file entities and relations deterministically
optionally invoke unresolved fallback when extractorMode=hybrid and fallbackMode allows it
derive architecture and flow assets from the saved graph snapshot
serve the local UI and snapshot-backed Q&A APIs

Extraction mode behavior:

hybrid is the default and uses AST-first extraction with unresolved-only LLM fallback
ast keeps the whole extraction pipeline deterministic and skips LLM extraction
llm keeps the legacy per-file LLM extractor for languages or repos where you want that behavior

Current AST parser coverage:

Python: .py, .pyi
JavaScript: .js, .mjs, .cjs
JSX: .jsx
TypeScript: .ts
TSX: .tsx

In hybrid mode, files outside this AST coverage fall back to the legacy per-file LLM extractor.

Supported Source Types

These entries describe source file types the scanner recognizes. They do not imply AST parser coverage beyond the languages listed in Current AST parser coverage.

JavaScript / TypeScript: .js .jsx .mjs .cjs .ts .tsx
Python: .py .pyi
JVM languages: .java .kt .kts .scala
Systems languages: .go .rs .c .cpp .cc .cxx .h .hpp
Others: .rb .php .swift .cs .sh .bash .lua .dart

Default ignored directories:

.codeviz
.git
.venv venv
node_modules
dist build vendor
fixtures
.next .nuxt
target out
coverage

The scanner also respects project .gitignore rules.

Requirements

Python 3.12+
Node.js 18+
An LLM API key if you use hybrid or llm extraction, unresolved fallback, or project Q&A

Python runtime dependencies are defined in pyproject.toml.

Package Name and CLI Name

npm package: codeviz-ai
CLI command: codeviz

This means installation uses codeviz-ai, but all runtime commands still use codeviz.

Installation

Option 1: npm CLI install

Install from the published package:

npm install -g codeviz-ai

Or install from the local repository:

npm install
npm install -g .

Then initialize the managed Python runtime:

codeviz setup

codeviz setup will:

Check for Python 3.12+
Create a managed virtual environment under the global config directory
Install the Python package in editable mode
Write the global CLI config

Default global config directory:

macOS / Linux: ~/.config/codeviz/
Windows: %APPDATA%/codeviz/

Override with:

CODEVIZ_CONFIG_HOME

Option 2: Local Python install from this repository

Use this mode if you have already cloned this repository and want to run or develop OpenCodeViz locally.

git clone [email protected]:huamingjie0815/OpenCodeViz.git
cd OpenCodeViz
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

If you do not want to clone first, you can also install directly from GitHub:

pip install "git+https://github.com/huamingjie0815/OpenCodeViz.git"

To enable the deepagents-powered Q&A runtime:

pip install -e '.[runtime]'

Then run:

python -m codeviz analyze /path/to/project --no-browser
python -m codeviz open /path/to/project --no-browser
python -m codeviz ask /path/to/project "What does this service layer do?"

Deployment and Publish

To prepare the npm package for publishing:

npm install
npm run build:web

To publish:

npm publish

If you publish under an npm scope, keep the CLI bin.codeviz mapping unchanged.

Configuration

Runtime config is resolved in this order:

Environment variables
Project config: <project>/.codeviz/config.json
Global config written by codeviz setup

Common config fields:

provider
model
apiKey
apiKeyEnv
baseUrl
port
extractorMode
fallbackMode

Supported environment variables:

CODEVIZ_CONFIG_PATH
CODEVIZ_PROVIDER
CODEVIZ_MODEL
CODEVIZ_API_KEY
CODEVIZ_API_KEY_ENV
CODEVIZ_BASE_URL
CODEVIZ_EXTRACTOR_MODE
CODEVIZ_FALLBACK_MODE

Current default model mapping:

openai -> gpt-4o-mini
anthropic -> claude-sonnet-4-20250514
google_genai -> gemini-2.0-flash

Example project config:

{
  "provider": "openai",
  "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "apiKeyEnv": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
  "baseUrl": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
  "port": 39127,
  "extractorMode": "hybrid",
  "fallbackMode": "auto"
}

Extraction modes:

llm: keep the legacy per-file LLM extractor
ast: use AST-only extraction and skip per-file LLM extraction
hybrid: use AST-first extraction with unresolved-only LLM fallback

Fallback modes:

off: never invoke unresolved fallback
auto: invoke fallback only for unresolved relations with viable candidates
always: attempt fallback for every eligible unresolved relation

Setup Modes

There are two setup entry points:

codeviz setup
- npm CLI setup
- writes global config
- prepares the managed Python environment
python -m codeviz setup [project]
- Python CLI setup
- writes <project>/.codeviz/config.json
- configures provider, model, API key, base URL, and port for one project

For normal CLI usage, prefer codeviz setup.

Commands

`analyze`

codeviz analyze /path/to/project
codeviz analyze /path/to/project --no-browser
codeviz analyze /path/to/project --port 39127

Starts the local server and runs analysis in the background.

`reanalyze`

codeviz reanalyze /path/to/project --no-browser

Currently behaves the same as analyze.

`open`

codeviz open /path/to/project

Opens the local UI for an existing snapshot.

`ask`

codeviz ask /path/to/project "How is the login flow implemented?"

If the project has not been analyzed yet, ask triggers analysis first.

Data Directory

Each analyzed project gets:

.codeviz/
  config.json
  current.json
  versions/
    <run_id>/
      meta.json
      files.json
      entities.json
      edges.json
      documents.json
      architecture.json
      flow_index.json
      events.json
      project_info.json
  chat/

Meaning:

versions/<run_id>/ is one full analysis snapshot
current.json points to the active snapshot
meta.json stores status and counters
architecture.json stores derived module and dependency assets
flow_index.json stores derived flow entry candidates
events.json stores analysis events
chat/ stores Q&A sessions

Web UI and API

The local HTTP server binds to 127.0.0.1. The default port selection starts at 39127 and avoids common dev ports such as 3000, 5173, 8000, and 8080.

Main endpoints:

/api/status
/api/graph
/api/architecture
/api/flow/index
/api/flow
/api/project-info
/api/versions
/api/events
/api/stream
/api/chat
/api/chat/session
/api/chat/turn/<turn_id>

Basic CLI check:

python -m codeviz --help

Known Limitations

AST parsing is currently implemented for Python (.py, .pyi), JavaScript (.js, .mjs, .cjs), JSX (.jsx), TypeScript (.ts), and TSX (.tsx)
Hybrid and llm modes still depend on model availability for fallback extraction and Q&A
Source files larger than 50KB are skipped
reanalyze does not yet have independent semantics
The web UI is bundled static content, not a separate frontend app

项目介绍

OpenCodeViz 是一个面向真实本地仓库的代码关系图和项目问答工具。

它会扫描源码与 Markdown 文档，把分析结果按版本写入 .codeviz/，并优先通过 AST-first 管线抽取代码实体和关系、用确定性规则做跨文件解析，只在仍然有价值的地方使用 LLM：旧版 llm 抽取模式、hybrid 模式下的未解析回退，以及项目问答。

功能

多语言仓库扫描
当前 AST-first 抽取已实现对 Python（.py, .pyi）、JavaScript（.js, .mjs, .cjs）、JSX（.jsx）、TypeScript（.ts）和 TSX（.tsx）的支持
代码可视化（交互式图谱视图），便于探索实体与依赖关系
架构图（模块/包依赖布局与可视化摘要）
流程图（跨文件与服务的调用/数据流可视化）
版本化分析快照
基于快照的项目问答

分析架构

当前分析流程是：

发现源码文件、内容指纹和 Markdown 文档
对支持的语言使用基于 tree-sitter 的 AST 解析器
用确定性规则完成同文件和跨文件实体、关系解析
当 extractorMode=hybrid 且 fallbackMode 允许时，只对未解析关系调用 LLM 回退
基于保存后的图快照派生架构图和流程图资产
提供本地 Web 界面和基于快照的问答 API

抽取模式说明：

hybrid 是默认模式，优先走 AST 抽取，仅对未解析关系使用 LLM 回退
ast 保持整条抽取链路为确定性流程，不调用 LLM 抽取
llm 保留旧版逐文件 LLM 抽取，适合你明确想使用旧行为的场景

当前 AST 解析层覆盖范围：

Python：.py, .pyi
JavaScript：.js, .mjs, .cjs
JSX：.jsx
TypeScript：.ts
TSX：.tsx

在 hybrid 模式下，超出上述 AST 覆盖范围的文件会退回旧版逐文件 LLM 抽取路径。

支持的源码类型

这里列的是扫描器可识别的源码类型，不等同于 AST 解析层已经覆盖全部这些语言。AST 覆盖范围以上一节“当前 AST 解析层覆盖范围”为准。

JavaScript / TypeScript: .js .jsx .mjs .cjs .ts .tsx
Python: .py .pyi
JVM 语言: .java .kt .kts .scala
系统语言: .go .rs .c .cpp .cc .cxx .h .hpp
其他: .rb .php .swift .cs .sh .bash .lua .dart

默认会跳过这些目录：

.codeviz
.git
.venv venv
node_modules
dist build vendor
fixtures
.next .nuxt
target out
coverage

同时会额外读取项目 .gitignore 规则。

依赖要求

Python 3.12+
Node.js 18+
如果你要使用 hybrid / llm 抽取、未解析回退或项目问答，则需要可用的 LLM API Key

Python 运行时依赖定义在 pyproject.toml。

包名与命令名

npm 包名：codeviz-ai
CLI 命令：codeviz

也就是说，安装时使用 codeviz-ai，运行时命令仍然是 codeviz。

安装部署

方式一：作为 npm CLI 安装

安装发布后的 npm 包：

npm install -g codeviz-ai

如果是本地仓库安装：

npm install
npm install -g .

然后执行初始化：

codeviz setup

codeviz setup 会：

检查系统是否有 Python 3.12+
在全局配置目录创建受管虚拟环境
以 editable 模式安装 Python 包
写入全局 CLI 配置

默认全局配置目录：

macOS / Linux: ~/.config/codeviz/
Windows: %APPDATA%/codeviz/

可通过 CODEVIZ_CONFIG_HOME 覆盖。

方式二：从当前仓库本地安装 Python 包

这种方式适合你已经 git clone 了本仓库，并且希望在本地运行或参与开发。

git clone [email protected]:huamingjie0815/OpenCodeViz.git
cd OpenCodeViz
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

如果你不想先 clone，也可以直接从 GitHub 安装：

pip install "git+https://github.com/huamingjie0815/OpenCodeViz.git"

如果要启用基于 deepagents 的问答运行时：

pip install -e '.[runtime]'

然后可以直接运行：

python -m codeviz analyze /path/to/project --no-browser
python -m codeviz open /path/to/project --no-browser
python -m codeviz ask /path/to/project "这个服务层负责什么？"

npm 发布

发布前建议执行：

npm install
npm run build:web

发布命令：

npm publish

如果后续改成带 scope 的 npm 包，也不要改 bin.codeviz，这样命令名可以继续保持稳定。

配置

运行时配置读取优先级：

环境变量
项目配置 <project>/.codeviz/config.json
codeviz setup 写入的全局配置

常用配置项：

provider
model
apiKey
apiKeyEnv
baseUrl
port
extractorMode
fallbackMode

支持的环境变量：

CODEVIZ_CONFIG_PATH
CODEVIZ_PROVIDER
CODEVIZ_MODEL
CODEVIZ_API_KEY
CODEVIZ_API_KEY_ENV
CODEVIZ_BASE_URL
CODEVIZ_EXTRACTOR_MODE
CODEVIZ_FALLBACK_MODE

当前默认模型映射：

openai -> gpt-4o-mini
anthropic -> claude-sonnet-4-20250514
google_genai -> gemini-2.0-flash

项目配置示例：

{
  "provider": "openai",
  "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "apiKeyEnv": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
  "baseUrl": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
  "port": 39127,
  "extractorMode": "hybrid",
  "fallbackMode": "auto"
}

抽取模式：

llm：沿用旧版逐文件 LLM 抽取
ast：只使用 AST 抽取，不做逐文件 LLM 抽取
hybrid：优先使用 AST 抽取，仅对未解析关系使用 LLM 回退

回退模式：

off：不调用未解析关系回退
auto：只对存在可行候选的未解析关系调用回退
always：对所有符合条件的未解析关系都尝试回退

两套 setup 的区别

codeviz setup
- npm CLI 入口
- 写入全局配置
- 准备受管 Python 环境
python -m codeviz setup [project]
- Python CLI 入口
- 写入 <project>/.codeviz/config.json
- 只配置当前项目的 provider、model、API key、base URL、port

正常使用 CLI 时，优先使用 codeviz setup。

命令

`analyze`

codeviz analyze /path/to/project
codeviz analyze /path/to/project --no-browser
codeviz analyze /path/to/project --port 39127

启动本地服务，并在后台开始分析。

`reanalyze`

codeviz reanalyze /path/to/project --no-browser

当前行为与 analyze 一致。

`open`

codeviz open /path/to/project

打开已有分析快照对应的本地界面。

`ask`

codeviz ask /path/to/project "登录流程是怎么实现的？"

如果项目尚未分析，ask 会先自动触发分析。

`.codeviz/` 目录结构

.codeviz/
  config.json
  current.json
  versions/
    <run_id>/
      meta.json
      files.json
      entities.json
      edges.json
      documents.json
      architecture.json
      flow_index.json
      events.json
      project_info.json
  chat/

含义：

versions/<run_id>/ 是一次完整分析快照
current.json 指向当前使用的版本
meta.json 保存状态和统计信息
architecture.json 保存派生后的模块与依赖资产
flow_index.json 保存派生后的流程入口索引
events.json 保存分析过程事件
chat/ 保存问答记录

Web 界面与 API

本地 HTTP 服务绑定在 127.0.0.1。默认端口从 39127 起选，并主动避开 3000、5173、8000、8080 等常见开发端口。

/api/status
/api/graph
/api/architecture
/api/flow/index
/api/flow
/api/project-info
/api/versions
/api/events
/api/stream
