Before The Commit

Code Change Capture shows everything a change touches: the functions, tests, services and cross-service contracts it reaches. It shows them in your IDE, in your pipeline, and to the coding agents making the change.

Open source core. Runs on your machine, and your code stays there.

Built on open source

Runccc is built on ccc (Collateral Code Check), which is free and open source. Read the code, run it locally, and talk to us when your teams need more.

Change Impact

Know What a Change Reaches

Agents now write much of the code, which makes it harder to follow what changed. Runccc lays out each change before it lands.

Tests at Risk

See which pipeline tests run against your change, and which services need testing, before you push.

Cross-Service Calls

New or modified calls between services show up before you commit, even when the other side lives in another repository or language.

Lints & Security

Flags language lint violations, security findings and vulnerable dependencies checked against the OSV advisory database.

Features

One Map, Many Views

Runccc scans your project into an in-memory code map that stays current as you work. Everything below reads from that same map.

Live Code Map

Built on Tree-sitter. Every file's functions, return types, doc summaries, call graph and TODO/FIXME notes, refreshed seconds after each save.

MCP Server for Agents

A local MCP server gives Claude, Copilot, Cursor and other agents exact answers on definitions, references, dependencies and test targets.

Confined Edits

Agents change code through Runccc's edit tools rather than raw shell writes. Each edit stays inside the project and is staged as a diff, applied all-or-nothing and revertible.

Architecture Visualiser

Drill down from the whole system to a single function's logic, following the C4 model. A timeline replays what an agent read and changed, one definition at a time.

IDE Extension

The VS Code extension runs the analysis in the background for each workspace folder, over loopback only, with nothing to configure.

Pipelines

Run the same analysis in CI: changed services, dependency deltas, SAST and lockfile audits as JSON, with a non-zero exit on high-severity findings.

For coding agents

Edits Go Through Runccc

Agents read the map and also make their changes through it. A rename, a dead-code delete or a new function takes one previewed call, so the agent doesn't have to read and edit file by file.

  • One call per change — a rename follows the name through every file the map ties to it, and lists any same-named site it left alone
  • Safe by construction — no writes outside the project root, no symlinks, never .git
  • All or nothing — every staged file is checked before writing, then every file is written or none is
  • Traceable — every change can be reverted and credited to the request that asked for it
# AGENTS.md

This repo has a ccc map served over MCP at
http://127.0.0.1:6767/mcp. Use it as the
entry point for everything you do here.

- Navigation and questions go through the
  ccc tools: find, references, dependencies,
  test_targets, changes, ...
- ccc is the only writer: make every change
  with edit_rename, edit_replace, edit_delete,
  edit_insert or edit_text, then edit_apply.

*Estimate: renaming a function used at 20 sites across 8 files of ~300 lines, by an agent that must read a file before editing it.

Why Runccc

Fewer Tokens, More Oversight

An agent's own tools read whole files to change a few lines. Runccc's edits act on the map, so agents need fewer turns and you can see each change before it's written.

Task Agent's own tools Through Runccc Saving
Rename a function used at 20 sites in 8 files ≈ 33k tokens, 29 calls ≈ 2.3k tokens, 3 calls ~14x tokens, ~10x calls
Delete a dead 50-line function ≈ 4.4k tokens, 3 calls ≈ 1k tokens, 2 calls ~4x tokens
Add a 25-line function beside an existing one ≈ 4.2k tokens, 3 calls ≈ 0.9k tokens, 2 calls ~4.5x tokens
Change a few lines inside one function read + edit read + edit about even

Estimates assume 300-line source files at ~12 tokens a line, and an agent that must read a file before it edits it. Every call saved is also a model turn saved.
