AgenticCode

Turns a large Natural/Java codebase into a queryable graph, so AI agents can answer code questions via API instead of reading source files.

Source Code  →  Parse  →  Graph (Neo4j)  →  Enrich  →  Agent API

What it extracts: call graph (CALLNAT/PERFORM), DB access (READ/FIND/ STORE + SQL), data structures (DEFINE DATA, PDA/LDA), variable-level dataflow, control flow.

Why it's a great fit for agentic AI:

  • Structured JSON answers instead of raw file text — no re-parsing needed
  • Small, targeted lookups instead of holding the whole codebase in context
  • Matches agent reasoning: ask one precise question at a time (callers → callees → DB tables → dataflow)
  • Traces data lineage across programs — a mechanical task AI does reliably, humans do slowly
  • Scales: 6,300+ files mapped in ~1 minute; queries return in seconds

Result: tasks like "what would it take to rewrite this program?" go from hours of manual tracing to one agent session with a complete, correct picture.
