Lore lets engineers ask plain English questions about any codebase and get accurate, sourced answers — without sending a single line of code to the cloud.
New engineers spend weeks just understanding what code does before they can change anything safely. Senior engineers become human documentation — answering the same questions over and over. And nobody knows what breaks when you touch something.
Lore reads your codebase so your team doesn't have to start from zero every time.
Ask how authentication works, where payments are processed, or why a particular decision was made. Lore finds the relevant code and explains it clearly, with source references.
lore askExplain any function in depth — what it does, why it exists, who calls it, what it calls, its risk score, and concrete improvement suggestions. All in one report.
lore explainBefore touching any file, see the full downstream dependency chain. Know exactly what breaks before you commit — not after.
lore impactScan all package managers across 8 languages. CVE checks, CycloneDX 1.4 SBOM for compliance reporting, and a shareable HTML security report — all entirely offline, no external API needed.
lore deps --format html | sbomGenerate a plain English summary of what changed between any two git refs. Includes risk assessment, breaking change detection, and relevant past decisions. The best feature to show a product manager.
lore changelogGenerate interactive architecture diagrams — module overview, file dependency graph, call flow, and external data flow. Clickable nodes, hover details, and edge filtering. Opens in any browser.
lore diagram --format htmlScore every file and function for complexity, nesting, missing documentation, and code smells. Risk levels from clean to critical. Integrates with PR analysis to catch issues before merge.
lore smellFind functions and classes that are defined but never called. Two-pass analysis with high/medium/low confidence levels. Reduce codebase weight and eliminate maintenance burden.
lore deadGenerate a guided onboarding document for any new engineer. Tailored by role — backend, frontend, devops. Answers the questions every new hire has on day one.
