CXCAP

The complexity feedback loop for AI coding agents

Coding agents finish tasks and pass tests, yet repos get harder to change after many iterations. CXCAP is a free, open-source CLI that shows what a change will touch before anyone edits: likely files, dependents, import cycles, cross-boundary edges, and where static analysis can't see. Local, read-only, no model or account. Python, JS/TS, Rust. Installs an agent skill so Claude Code and other agents can call it. Try to break it: run it on your most AI-built repo.

Could you build this?

Partial Building static dependency analysis, cross-boundary edge detection, and import cycle graphs across diverse programming languages requires deep compiler and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) expertise beyond simple LLM scripting.

What it would actually take: The CLI would need to be written in Rust or Go, leveraging tree-sitter or language-specific AST parsers (such as TypeScript Compiler API or Python's ast) to build comprehensive dependency and call graphs. It must track file changes via git diffs, construct a directed graph of imports and call chains, detect cycles using Tarjan's algorithm, and compute reachability bounds. The primary difficulty lies in accurately tracing dynamic imports, implicit dependencies, and polyglot codebases without significant false positives.
