Vela: AI-Powered .NET Code Search & Analysis Tool

Vela: AI-Powered .NET Code Search & Analysis Tool

Vela is an AI-powered tool designed for precise code search within .NET solutions. It allows developers to accurately locate where a symbol is defined, identify every reference to it, discern who calls it, and assess the impact of changes. Unlike traditional search tools, Vela operates using Roslyn’s semantic model, which provides compiler-exact results for C#, VB, Razor Pages, MVC views, and Blazor components.

What this skill does

• Performs compiler-exact code search, finding definitively where symbols are used and defined across .NET codebases.
• Identifies all references and callers of a particular symbol, crucial for understanding dependencies and potential change impacts.
• Analyzes code within .cshtml and .razor files, which are typically missed by other tools like grep.
• Determines change impact, assisting in decision-making for code modifications without affecting the repository itself.
• Provides deterministic results with no reliance on models or network connections.

Who it is for

This skill is intended for developers and development teams utilizing AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It is particularly beneficial for teams working on large .NET codebases requiring rigorous code analysis and precise impact assessments before making changes.

Use cases

• Streamlining code lookup process for symbols with common names like Name, Status, or Value, where typical search methods produce excessive noise.
• Assessing the blast radius of proposed code changes to understand potential impacts across the codebase.
• Verifying symbol usage across various .NET file types, including Razor views and components, ensuring comprehensive code reviews.
• Reducing dependency on generic text search tools for .NET development, which can miss critical context and dependencies.

Technical details

• Built on Microsoft’s Roslyn compiler platform, ensuring results are aligned with compiler interpretations.
• Operates without modifying the code repository, ensuring safe and non-intrusive analysis.
• Compatible with tools that leverage AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, extending their capabilities in .NET environments.
