# AgenticCodebase Overview
AgenticCodebase compiles source code into a portable `.acb` graph for fast structural queries.
## What you can do
- Compile Python, Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, C++, Java, and C# repositories.
- Query symbols, dependencies, impact, calls, similarity, stability, and coupling.
- Expose the graph through MCP with `agentic-codebase-mcp`.
## Why teams adopt AgenticCodebase
Teams adopt AgenticCodebase because it closes both the original and current code-intelligence gaps:
- Foundational problems already solved: no repository-wide map, weak structural navigation, unknown blast radius, hidden coupling, test blind spots, missing risk gates, no durable artifact governance, and no universal MCP surface.
- New high-scale problems now solved: topology blindness across large repos, safer impact analysis before change, coupling/test-gap risk visibility in CI, eight-language boundary awareness, dependency/build drift detection, and ongoing spec-to-code drift checks.
- Practical outcome for teams: faster review cycles, safer refactors, fewer production surprises, and repeatable decisions across local, desktop, and server runtimes.

## Artifact
- Primary artifact: `.acb`
- Cross-sister server workflows can pair `.acb` with `.amem` and `.avis`
