Code graphs
Why agents work better when facts are linked.
A graph database stores each fact with its links to other facts: this function calls that one, writes this table, and changed in this commit. An agent can follow those links in a few steps. A search over text can only find passages that look like the question. Posts cover code graphs, graph retrieval, graph memory for agents, the ontology that types each fact and link, and what the research measures about each.
