Graphicle

Graphicle: Code graph and memory for coding agents in a single local Rust program.

Graphicle maps your repository into a code graph, remembers your project docs, decisions, and past agent sessions, and gives your coding agent cited excerpts from both. It runs entirely on your machine as a single Rust program using a local SQLite file, requiring no account, telemetry, or API key for core functions. It parses code structures using tree-sitter and integrates with popular coding tools via the Model Context Protocol. Supported integrations include Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and Claude Desktop. It provides terminal commands for setting up, querying, browsing the graph, and managing project memory.
