What is Roam?

Roam is a structural intelligence engine for software. It pre-indexes your codebase into a semantic graph -- symbols, dependencies, call graphs, architecture layers, git history, and runtime traces -- stored in a local SQLite DB. Agents query it via CLI or MCP instead of repeatedly grepping files and guessing structure.

Unlike LSPs (editor-bound, language-specific) or Sourcegraph (hosted search), Roam provides architecture-level graph queries -- offline, cross-language, and compact. It goes beyond comprehension: Roam governs architecture through budget gates, simulates refactoring outcomes, orchestrates multi-agent swarms with zero-conflict guarantees, maps vulnerability reachability paths, and enables graph-level code editing without syntax errors.
