Graph-native code intelligence that replaces embedding-based RAG with deterministic program understanding.

Arbor builds a semantic dependency graph for codebases, enabling deterministic impact analysis, symbol resolution, and git-aware risk gating. It provides a CLI, GUI, and MCP integration to help developers understand and control the consequences of changes before they happen.

    Graph-native code intelligence replacing embedding-based RAG with deterministic retrieval.

    Kai HarrisMar 25, 2026

    Deterministic retrieval is more reliable than probabilistic embedding similarity.

    Good for teams who find RAG retrieval inconsistency to be a problem in practice.

    Graph-native design captures code relationships that flat embeddings miss.
