It can annotate files using local or remote AI models and output directly into an Obsidian vault, aiming to help developers understand LLM-generated code.", "body_md": "I've been vibe-coding tools to automate chunks of my consulting work, fell down a rabbit hole, and started building actual products. Suddenly I'm in a world of unknown-unknowns and known-unknowns. One of the bigger things to solve was understanding code the LLM generated that I didn't fully grasp. What does it touch? What reads and writes where? Is the auth path where I think it is?\n\nSo I built codeflowmap. Point it at a repo and it maps the dependency and call graph, then surfaces the read / write / auth paths between files and functions.\n\nConnect a local model (Ollama) or any OpenAI-compatible API and it annotates each file with what it does and the data it touches. It all runs locally unless you connect to a remote/hosted API, and the output links straight into an Obsidian vault.\n\nbunx codeflowmap serve · MIT · built for me\n\nKeen for thoughts on what would make it more useful or sharpen it up.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48614229](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48614229)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-codeflowmap-map-a-codebase-s-read-write-auth-data-flows", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/man-consult/code-mapper", "published_at": "2026-06-20 23:49:07+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-21 00:07:12.191965+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-tools", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Codeflowmap", "Ollama", "OpenAI", "Obsidian"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-codeflowmap-map-a-codebase-s-read-write-auth-data-flows", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-codeflowmap-map-a-codebase-s-read-write-auth-data-flows.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-codeflowmap-map-a-codebase-s-read-write-auth-data-flows.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-codeflowmap-map-a-codebase-s-read-write-auth-data-flows.jsonld"}}
