ByteRover

ByteRover gives Clawly deep awareness of your project's codebase and documentation. It builds a structured context tree from your code so Clawly can answer questions, navigate your project, and understand how things are connected.

What You Can Do

  • Ask questions about your codebase
  • Understand how components relate to each other
  • Navigate to relevant parts of your project
  • Get context-aware code suggestions
  • Build and maintain a project knowledge graph

Example Commands

"How does authentication work in this project?"

"Where is the payment processing logic?"

"What does the UserService class do?"

"Show me all the API endpoints related to users"

"Explain the data flow for creating a new order"

Setup

No additional API key required — ByteRover works with your existing project context.

  1. Go to your Clawly Dashboard
  2. Find ByteRover in the Skills section
  3. Toggle it on
  4. Point Clawly to your project or repository

How It Works

  1. Context tree — ByteRover builds a structured map of your project (files, functions, relationships)
  2. Smart retrieval — When you ask a question, relevant context is retrieved from the tree
  3. Grounded answers — Responses are based on your actual code, not generic assumptions
  4. Incremental updates — The context tree updates as you make changes

Tips

  • Reference specific files — "In auth.ts, how does the JWT refresh work?"
  • Ask about patterns — "Are there any other places in the code that do X?"
  • Combine with Coding Agent — Use ByteRover for context, Coding Agent for writing new code
