Dynvo turns raw git history into a living map of every _feature_ and _user flow_ in your repo — with bug hotspots, test coverage, and the precise context your AI coding agent actually needs.

No Jira. No annotations. No manual tagging. Just git log and your code.

The problem

Every engineer rediscovers the same thing on a new codebase:

"Which files actually implement checkout?" "What breaks if I change this?" "Who owns the billing flow?" "Where are the bugs hiding?"

Your issue tracker doesn't know — it's full of aspirational tickets. Static analysis sees imports, not intent. And your AI agent just greps 15 files and burns your context window guessing.

The answers were in your git history the whole time. Dynvo reads them.

What Dynvo does

$ dynvo ./my-app

  ✓ 472 commits analysed · 1,284 files mapped

  FEATURE                  HEALTH  COVERAGE  HOTSPOTS  FLOWS
  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  Billing & Subscriptions    62      48%        3        7

  → Highest blast radius:  src/payments/charge.ts (touches 4 features)
  → Riskiest flow:         e-sign/finalize  (low coverage · 5 recent bug-fixes)

A two-layer feature map:

• Developer features — code-grounded, the units your engineers actually work in.
• Product features — the customer-facing capabilities those roll up into.

…each broken into flows (real user journeys), scored, attributed down to the function and line range, and served to humans and AI agents.

Features

• Feature & flow detection — from git history + code structure, on any stack (Next.js, Rails, Django, FastAPI, Express, Spring, Laravel, Phoenix, and more).
• Bug hotspots & health scores — find what's rotting before it pages you.
• Behavioral test coverage — coverage per user flow, inferred from history even when there's no lcov.
• Change-impact / blast radius — "if I touch these files, here's what breaks and who to add as reviewer."
• Symbol-level attribution — functions, classes and line ranges per flow, not just file lists.
• Ownership & bus-factor — who maintains each feature, and where the knowledge is dangerously concentrated.
• MCP server for AI agents — 13 typed tools your coding agent calls instead of grepping.
• Runtime overlays — map Sentry errors and PostHog usage onto features (which features actually fail and get used).
• Local-first & private — runs on your machine; your source code never has to leave it.

Quick start

pip install dynvo

# Scan a repo. Bare `dynvo <repo>` runs the scan pipeline —
# flows and symbol-level attribution are included by default.
dynvo /path/to/your/repo

Dynvo is deterministic-first: the feature/flow structure comes from your code and git history with no LLM required. Set an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and a Haiku pass automatically adds human-readable names and flow detection — no flag needed. Pick the model with --model haiku|sonnet|opus (default: haiku):

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
dynvo /path/to/your/repo --model sonnet

scan-v2 is the explicit name of the same pipeline (dynvo scan-v2 <repo>); the bare form is just shorthand for it.

That writes a versioned feature-map JSON to ~/.faultline/. Explore it, diff it across runs, ship it to CI, or hand it to your AI agent (below).

Built for AI coding agents

This is the wedge. Install the companion MCP server and your agent stops guessing:

# one-off, no install (recommended)
uvx faultlines-mcp

# or install it
pip install faultlines-mcp

// ~/.cursor/mcp.json  (or: claude mcp add dynvo -- faultlines-mcp)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dynvo": { "command": "faultlines-mcp" }
  }
}

Now Cursor / Claude Code / Cline / Windsurf can call 13 tools:

Typical result: ~90% fewer tokens per query than a naive grep-and-read loop — your agent reads the right functions, with line ranges, on the first try.

The metrics — and why they matter

How it works

 git history ─┐
              ├─▶  deterministic extractors  ─┐
 code/config ─┘    (routes · MVC · schema ·   │
                    package · stack patterns)  ├─▶  feature & flow map
                                               │     + metrics + symbols
        Haiku pass · naming + flows (key set) ─┘            │
                                                            ▼
                              feature-map JSON  ──▶  CLI · CI · dashboard · MCP

Deterministic-first. The structure comes from your routing conventions, configs, schemas and git co-change patterns — no LLM required. When ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set, an Anthropic (Haiku by default, --model sonnet|opus) pass adds human-readable names and flow detection automatically. The output is a single versioned JSON — the stable contract every consumer reads.

Integrations

• GitHub — PR comments with risk, coverage gaps and runtime signal on the exact features a diff touches.
• Sentry — production errors mapped to features.
• PostHog — real usage & traffic per feature.
• Slack — weekly digest of top risks, coverage gaps and hotspots.

Why not just…

• …grep / read the files? Burns context and misses cross-boundary, runtime and historical coupling that static analysis can't see.
• …SonarQube / linters? Great for line-level issues; blind to features, flows and blast radius.
• …your issue tracker? Describes intent, not reality. Dynvo is grounded in what the code and history actually say.

Dynvo is the only layer that joins structure + git history + runtime into one map — and serves it to your AI agent.

Roadmap

• [x] Two-layer feature/flow map on any stack
• [x] Behavioral test coverage & health scoring
• [x] Symbol-level attribution
• [x] MCP server (13 tools) — Local · Hosted · VPC
• [x] Sentry + PostHog runtime overlays
• [x] Incremental, sub-second re-scans on every commit
• [x] Native plugins for more agents & IDEs

Contributing

Issues, ideas and PRs are welcome. Dynvo is built to map any codebase — if it mis-reads your stack, that's a bug we want to hear about.
