Full Codebase Context (Code Graph Analysis)

CloudAEye builds a deep, interconnected understanding of your entire codebase, enabling architectural-level code reviews with superior accuracy and context awareness. By analyzing how files, functions, classes, modules, and dependencies relate to each other, CloudAEye delivers insights that go far beyond line-by-line linting or isolated static analysis.

What is Full Codebase Context?

Full Codebase Context is CloudAEye’s ability to create a code graph: a structured representation of how your codebase fits together. This includes:

  • File-to-file relationships
  • Function and class references
  • Imports and dependency flows
  • Call graphs
  • Data structures and their usage
  • Cross-module interactions
  • Framework- and library-specific patterns

CloudAEye continuously updates this graph as your codebase evolves, ensuring reviews always reflect the latest state of your system.

Why Codebase Context Matters

Traditional code review tools inspect a pull request in isolation. This often leads to:

  • Missed architectural issues
  • Incorrect assumptions about how code is used
  • Limited ability to detect regressions
  • False alarms due to lack of context

With Full Codebase Context, CloudAEye understands where and how the changed code interacts with the rest of the system, enabling:

1. More Bugs Caught

Context allows the agent to detect subtle issues such as:

  • Breaking downstream dependencies
  • Misusing internal APIs
  • Violating module boundaries
  • Creating hidden performance bottlenecks

2. Architecture-Aware Feedback

Reviews reflect an understanding of:

  • Service boundaries
  • Layered architecture
  • Dependency direction
  • Domain rules or conventions

3. Smarter Suggestions

CloudAEye can recommend:

  • Better abstractions
  • Correct helper functions or modules
  • More efficient patterns already used elsewhere in the codebase

4. Consistency Across the Codebase

The agent learns established patterns in:

  • Naming
  • Structuring
  • Error handling
  • Logging
  • Framework usage

It then ensures new changes align with existing practices.

How CloudAEye Builds Codebase Context

CloudAEye automatically analyzes your repository and constructs a code graph using:

  • Static analysis
  • Syntax tree parsing
  • Reference tracing
  • Framework-aware heuristics
  • Dependency resolution
  • Schema and config discovery (where applicable)

This process happens in the background and requires no manual configuration.

How Codebase Context Improves PR Reviews

With full context, CloudAEye can:

  • Identify when a change impacts other components not touched in the PR
  • Recognize unused or redundant code paths
  • Suggest refactoring opportunities based on existing patterns
  • Validate API usage across the codebase
  • Highlight risks such as circular dependencies or broken interfaces
  • Recommend the correct module or abstraction to modify

The result is a review that feels like it came from a senior architect, not just a static analysis tool.

Example Output

Priority: Critical

Issue: Function call uses unexpected keyword argument 'columns' - will cause TypeError at runtime

Where: gen_features called in tests/test_features_generator.py::test_generate_features_with_default_parameters

line_range: (4, 12)

Description:

Problematic call:

feature_defs = gen_features(columns=columns, classes=[MockClass])

  • The function gen_features is defined with parameters (in order): ['rows', 'classes', 'return_dict', 'prefix', 'suffix'] where only 'rows' is the name for the first parameter (positional, default None).
  • The call site passes keyword arguments: columns=columns and classes=[MockClass].
  • There is no parameter named 'columns' in the function signature, so Python will raise a TypeError: gen_features() got an unexpected keyword argument 'columns'.

This will cause: TypeError at runtime and the test will fail.

Expected Behavior

Either call the function using the correct parameter name (rows=...) or pass the value positionally, or update the function signature to accept a keyword named 'columns' (for example rename the parameter to 'columns' or add **kwargs to accept extra keywords).

How to Enable Codebase Context

Full codebase context is enabled automatically for all repositories connected to CloudAEye. No setup, configuration, or additional steps are required.

Best Practices for Maximum Value

To get the best results from code graph analysis:

  • Keep the repository structure consistent
  • Use descriptive commit messages
  • Maintain clean import and dependency boundaries
  • Avoid large, unrelated changes in a single PR

CloudAEye will use its code graph to provide richer insights as your codebase grows.

Summary

CloudAEye’s Full Codebase Context brings deep architectural awareness to every code review. By understanding how your entire system is wired together, CloudAEye provides:

  • Smarter, more accurate PR feedback
  • Higher bug detection rates
  • Architectural guidance
  • Consistent engineering standards
  • Better maintainability over time

This feature significantly elevates automated code review beyond linting or static checks—providing the level of insight you’d expect from an experienced senior engineer.
