KG-ARCHMAP 1.0.3

Static architecture analysis and visualization for software projects.

Static architecture analysis for software repositories.

---

ArchMAP scans source code, builds dependency graphs, detects cycles, reports architectural risks, and serves an interactive web UI.

Supported languages: Python · JavaScript · TypeScript · Rust · Go · PHP · Java · C# · C/C++

Status

Release	v1.0.3
Runtime	Python >=3.11
UI	built-in static UI + Node dev server
Distribution	PyPI (KG-ARCHMAP) + Windows .exe

Installation

From PyPI

pip install KG-ARCHMAP

For local development

git clone https://github.com/Kaua-KGzin/ArchMAP
cd ArchMAP
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick demo

archmap analyze examples/sample-project --format both --include-cytoscape
archmap serve examples/sample-project

Useful API endpoints while serve is running:

Endpoint	Description
GET /api/graph	Full dependency graph JSON
GET /api/health	Health score + grade
GET /api/project	Project metadata
POST /api/reanalyze	Trigger a fresh analysis

CLI overview

Analyze

archmap analyze <path> --format json|mermaid|both

Quality gates for CI:

# Fail on cycles or architectural risks
archmap analyze . --fail-on-risks --top 10

# Coupling budget gate
archmap analyze . --fail-on-budget-violations --max-outgoing-per-file 15 --max-incoming-per-file 10

# Resolution rate gate
archmap analyze . --min-resolution-rate 70

# Strip external packages from the graph
archmap analyze . --ignore-external

# Summary output styles: text (default), table, markdown
archmap analyze . --summary-format markdown

# Show unresolved imports
archmap analyze . --show-unresolved=20

Serve

# Binds to 127.0.0.1 by default (loopback only).
archmap serve <path> --port 3000

# Expose on the network explicitly (prints a security warning).
archmap serve <path> --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000

Security note: endpoints that read local files, switch the analyzed project, or call an LLM (/api/open, /api/open-file, /api/project, /api/reanalyze, /api/advise) are restricted to loopback requests regardless of --host. Only the read-only graph/health endpoints are reachable from other hosts when you bind to 0.0.0.0.

Diff

# Compare two git refs
archmap diff HEAD~5 HEAD

# Compare two saved JSON snapshots (no git required)
archmap diff --snapshot-a before.json --snapshot-b after.json

Trace

archmap trace src/main.py .
archmap trace src/main.py . --unreachable --max-depth 3

Shows every file reachable from an entrypoint through the dependency graph, grouped by depth, with coverage percentage.

Init (blueprint from real graph)

archmap init                       # scan directory names
archmap init --from-analysis       # derive layer rules from actual dependency graph
archmap init --from-analysis --dry-run

Advise (LLM architectural advisor)

archmap advise .                                          # Claude (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
archmap advise . --provider openai                        # OpenAI (OPENAI_API_KEY)
archmap advise . --provider ollama                        # local Ollama
archmap advise . --provider custom --base-url http://localhost:1234  # any OpenAI-compat API

Temporal coupling

archmap temporal .                     # files that change together (hidden coupling)
archmap temporal . --min-commits 3     # raise signal threshold
archmap temporal . --top 30 --json    # machine-readable output

Parses git log and ranks file pairs by co-change frequency + coupling strength. Zero new dependencies (stdlib only).

MCP server (AI assistant integration)

archmap mcp .

Starts a JSON-RPC 2.0 server over stdio exposing 4 tools: get_architecture_summary, get_file_context, impact_analysis, run_checks. Register in ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json to let Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf query your project's structure before making changes.

Tree-sitter parser (optional)

Install the [tree-sitter] extra for AST-based parsing across all 9 languages (eliminates regex false positives on multiline imports, string literals, and comments):

pip install "KG-ARCHMAP[tree-sitter]"

When installed, all language parsers upgrade automatically. Tree-sitter is used as a resilient primary parser: each grammar loads independently, and if it cannot parse a given file (or parses it unreliably), that single file transparently falls back to the regex path instead of being dropped. The regex fallback is fully preserved — no behaviour change without the extra.

VS Code Extension

The bundled VS Code extension provides zero-config IDE integration:

• Inline diagnostics (cycles, layer violations, god modules) in the Problems panel
• Status bar health score + grade
• ArchMAP: Analyze Project command
• ArchMAP: Open Web UI command
• ArchMAP: Trace File Reachability webview
• archmap.analyzeOnSave for CI-style continuous feedback

Git workflow

Branch promotion model: feat/* → dev → release/* → main

Rules:

1. No direct feature merge into main.
2. release/* accepts only stabilization changes.
3. CI must pass before merge.
4. Update docs/changelog when behavior changes.

See CONTRIBUTING.md and docs/BRANCHING.md.
