Claude Code reads your clone. Cursor reads similarity. Neither sees the graph.
Both agents can be handed more than one repo — but Claude Code only sees your clone and Cursor's index answers similarity. How to wire in the dependency graph.

The repo your agent didn't clone is the one it breaks
Coding agents got cross-repo access this year. They still can't see the blast radius of a base-image bump — because that edge was never a function call, and it lives in a repo they never cloned.

How to give GitHub Copilot cross-repo context today
Three working ways to get cross-repo context into GitHub Copilot right now — multi-root workspaces, Copilot Spaces, and MCP for the cloud agent — and the one question all three leave you to answer by hand.

Repo access was never the hard part
The multi-repo agent race is solving repository access. But access is plumbing — the cross-repo dependency graph is the part nobody upstream is parsing.

Inferred context is not a dependency graph
An enterprise context engine makes your agent generate better code. A parsed dependency graph is the thing you gate a deploy on. Two jobs, two kinds of machinery, and why a confidence score is the wrong guarantee for the second one.

Symbol graphs and artifact graphs: why Sourcegraph stops where infrastructure starts
Why Sourcegraph's symbol graph can't tell you who consumes your Helm chart at v3.2.0 — and why symbol graphs and artifact graphs are different categories.

Cross-repo context is in product docs. The graph is not.
The vocabulary moved into vendor docs in sixty days. The parser-derived cross-repo dependency graph it describes hasn't shipped in any AI coding product.

AI coding agents need cross-repo context. The teams running them at scale are already building it themselves.
Three teams shipped the same diagnosis in two weeks: AI coding agents need cross-repo context. Two built the dependency graph substrate. One built around it.

Meta needed 50+ AI agents to map their tribal knowledge. The most durable piece of their stack is the part you can build today.
A close read of Meta's April 2026 tribal knowledge engine, the academic paper they cited, and the architectural argument hidden inside both.
