## What arcframe does, in the publisher's words

Arcframe

The engineering control plane for Cursor

Local-first repository intelligence for Cursor MCP and AI coding agents. Arc Index, Arc Graph, blast-radius impact analysis, and evidence-backed context. Analysis stays on your machine.

- Arc Index: incremental file/symbol index with watch (native + polling fallback)
- Arc Graph: IMPORTS, DEPENDS_ON, CONTAINS, TESTS, ROUTES_TO, and related edges with confidence
- Budgeted context packs: tiny → unlimited token budgets with scored, reasoned items
- Arc Memory: notes, ADRs/decisions, sessions, and tasks in local SQLite
- Impact analysis: dependents/dependencies from the graph for a file or node
- Engineering ops: doctor, health, validate, test, build, review, changes, API compatibility, docs checks

## Skills

- bug-investigator: Investigate defects with Arcframe MCP evidence (git, symbols, impact, tests).
- feature-builder: Implement features with context packs, graph impact, and health checks.
- refactor-planner: Plan refactors using graph cycles, impact analysis, and incremental waves.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.

## MCP servers

- arcframe: transport: stdio; command: node ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/servers/mcp/dist/index.js; env: ARCFRAME_ROOT

Read from the plugin's own mcp.json. Environment variable names only, never values.
