FAQPage Schema
How do I understand a large codebase structure quickly?▼

To understand a large codebase structure quickly, you can generate high-level architecture summaries and file tree traversals. This approach surfaces project modules and relationships, providing a concise, structured overview for fast navigation and onboarding.

What is the best way to onboard new contributors to an unfamiliar repository?▼

The best way to onboard new contributors to an unfamiliar repository is by extracting documentation and generating top-level architecture summaries. This read-only codebase analysis clarifies project intent and structural dependencies, accelerating the onboarding process.

Can I analyze codebases across different programming languages?▼

Yes, you can analyze codebases across different programming languages. The code exploration mechanism applies to unfamiliar repositories regardless of language, providing deterministic, read-only analysis to help engineers understand project structure and dependencies.

How do I generate an architecture summary for code review support?▼

To generate an architecture summary for code review support, request a file tree traversal and high-level structural overview. This surfaces module relationships and documentation intent, delivering concise, structured outputs to guide the review process.

Does code exploration modify my existing repository files?▼

Code exploration does not modify your existing repository files. It provides deterministic, read-only analysis of the codebase, ensuring your project structure and dependencies remain completely untouched during the architecture summarization process.
