FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a codebase to understand its architecture and quality?▼

To analyze a codebase for architecture and quality, you can use parallel mapper agents that explore different aspects simultaneously and generate structured documents for comprehensive understanding.

What is the best way to get a quick codebase analysis for a specific focus area?▼

For a quick codebase analysis targeting a specific area like technology, run the tool with a fast scan flag to get rapid, focused results without performing a full comprehensive review.

Can I perform parallel code exploration to map out technical concerns?▼

Yes, you can perform parallel code exploration by deploying multiple mapper agents that focus on different areas such as technology, architecture, quality, and concerns concurrently.

What structured documents are generated during a comprehensive codebase analysis?▼

A comprehensive codebase analysis generates seven structured documents within a dedicated planning directory, capturing the complete state and aspects of the codebase for review.

Do I need any external dependencies to run mapper agents for codebase analysis?▼

No external dependencies are required to run mapper agents for codebase analysis, as the tool operates independently using its internal scripts to generate the output documents.

When should I use parallel processing for codebase analysis instead of manual review?▼

Use parallel processing for codebase analysis when you need to streamline the process of understanding a large codebase and require structured documents about its state efficiently.
