Synaptic helps coding agents inspect code impact before editing
Synaptic is designed to stop from editing after reading only a few files and forming an incomplete picture. A basic code map can show what exists in a , but it does not fully answer what depends on what or what might break after a change.
Synaptic analyzes a and builds a persistent graph of symbols and relationships. It supports more than 30 languages through .
Codex can query that graph through MCP before it opens files or makes edits. This can help check whether a rename is safe, whether hidden references exist, which tests should run, and whether a created a new cycle.
Key points
- Synaptic targets the problem of acting on an incomplete view of a codebase.
- It builds a persistent graph of symbols and relationships inside a .
- It uses to support more than 30 s.
- Codex can ask the graph questions through MCP before changing files.
- It focuses on safer renames, hidden references, test selection, and cycles.
