FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze an unknown codebase to understand its tech stack and conventions?

To analyze an unknown codebase, you can inspect repository evidence like code, manifests, and structure to detect languages, frameworks, and package managers. This extracts conventions and architecture signals to establish the tech footprint.

How do I generate onboarding documentation for an existing repository?

Generate onboarding documentation by inspecting the repository's code and structure. This produces tailored artifacts like AGENTS.md, PROJECT_CONVENTIONS.md, and WORKFLOWS.md that provide concise, actionable project guidance.

Can I generate AGENTS.md and convention files for a monorepo?

Yes, you can generate AGENTS.md and convention files for monorepos. The repository inspection process applies to both monorepos and multi-repo projects to identify stack, conventions, and structure.

What is the best way to discover useful agents for a new software project?

The best way to discover useful agents is by inspecting repository evidence from code and manifests. This produces recommendations for agents based on observed project needs and constraints.

Does codebase inspection work for multi-repo projects or only single repositories?

Codebase inspection works for both monorepos and multi-repo projects. It analyzes repository evidence to identify the stack, conventions, and structure across multiple repositories to generate onboarding artifacts.

How do I detect project conventions and workflows from existing code?

Detect project conventions and workflows by inspecting repository code, manifests, and structure. This extracts architecture signals and common patterns to output concise guidance artifacts with minimal assumptions.
