FAQPage Schema

How do I analyze a codebase to document patterns and conventions?▼

Codebase analysis for pattern documentation scans your project to identify languages, frameworks, architecture, and conventions, generating detailed persistent documentation in `.vibeflow/patterns/` to ensure consistency and maintainability.

What is codebase pattern discovery and when do I need it?▼

Codebase pattern discovery identifies stack, architecture, and coding conventions to create persistent documentation. It is needed when onboarding developers or guiding AI agent implementations to maintain project consistency and ensure adherence to established standards.

Can I generate developer onboarding documentation from an existing codebase?▼

Developer onboarding documentation is generated by performing a deep, adaptive analysis of your codebase. This extracts architectural patterns, established conventions, and pitfalls, providing new developers a comprehensive project overview for effective day-one contributions.

Does codebase analysis support incremental updates and scoped deep-dives?▼

Codebase analysis supports incremental updates to refresh existing documentation and scoped deep-dives for targeted investigation. It also features interactive review and satellite repo analysis to maintain consistency across related project repositories.

What's the best way to enforce coding conventions discovered in a codebase?▼

Convention enforcement is achieved by extracting and documenting coding standards during deep codebase analysis. The generated documentation in `.vibeflow/` persists these conventions, guiding both human developers and AI agents for consistent development.

Are there limitations to automated documentation generation for codebase understanding?▼

Automated documentation generation requires a readable codebase structure to identify patterns accurately. It functions best when the project has established conventions, as it extracts existing standards rather than inventing new architectural rules.
