llmcc brings multi-depth architecture graphs for code understanding and generation.

Our goal is to build a multi-depth, tree-like context / architecture view of a codebase, so a coding agent can walk up (zoom out) for structure and intent, then walk down (zoom in) to the exact crates/modules/files/symbols it needs—getting a highly comprehensive understanding of any codebase (any programming language).

Supported Languages

Language	Status	Notes
Rust	✅ Supported	Full support for crates, modules, and symbols
TypeScript	✅ Supported	Includes TSX, supports ES modules
C++	🔜 Planned	Coming soon
Python	🔜 Planned	Coming soon

Why multi-depth graphs?

People (and coding agents) need to understand systems from different dimensions. Sometimes you need the high-level architecture to see boundaries, ownership, and how subsystems connect; other times you need the low-level implementation details to make a safe, precise change. llmcc provides multiple depths so you can choose the right “distance” from the code for the task.

Depth	Perspective	Best for
0	Project	multi-workspace / repo-to-repo relationships
1	Library/Crate	ownership boundaries, public API flow
2	Module	subsystem structure, refactor planning
3	File + symbol	implementation details, edit planning

Walkthrough: Codex (midterm size multi-crate rust project)

This repo includes many examples under sample. Download and open them in browser for the best viewing experience.

Depth 1: crate graph

Depth 2: module graph

Depth 3: file + symbol graph

Here's a small portion of the graph at depth 3, showing the core abstraction layer for prompt handling in Codex. Developers and AI agents can quickly grasp the architecture by examining this view.

Performance

llmcc is designed to be very fast, and we will try to make it faster.

The repo contains benchmark for many famous project output here: sample/benchmark_results_16.md.

Excerpt (PageRank timing, depth=3, top-200):

Project	Files	LoC	Total

ruff	1661	418K	1.73s
codex	617	224K	0.46s

CLI: generate graphs

Build the binary:

cargo build --release

Generate a crate-level graph for Codex (DOT to stdout):

./target/release/llmcc \
	-d sample/repos/codex/codex-rs \
	--graph \
	--depth 1

Generate a PageRank-filtered file+symbol graph (write to a file):

./target/release/llmcc \
	-d sample/repos/codex/codex-rs \
	--graph \
	--depth 3 \
	--pagerank-top-k 200 \
	-o /tmp/codex_depth3_pagerank.dot

Render DOT to SVG (requires Graphviz):

dot -Tsvg /tmp/codex_depth3_pagerank.dot -o /tmp/codex_depth3_pagerank.svg

For generating sample graphs:

just gen rust
