FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze an existing codebase for brownfield project onboarding?

To analyze an existing codebase for onboarding, you need to assess the project's technology stack, architecture, quality, and risk concerns. This process extracts structural signals and module boundaries to produce a comprehensive map document that orients new contributors to the codebase.

What is the best way to map codebase architecture for sprint planning?

The best way to map codebase architecture for sprint planning is to generate a structured CODEBASE-MAP.md document. This identifies the current tech stack, module boundaries, data flows, and risk signals to directly inform refactoring decisions and architectural planning.

How do I generate a codebase map for a new development team?

You generate a codebase map by running an analysis script directly within the current project directory. The script evaluates existing configurations and dependencies to automatically output a CODEBASE-MAP.md file, which quickly orients new developers and stakeholders.

Does codebase mapping work with any tech stack?

Codebase mapping works with any tech stack by analyzing the project's existing configurations and dependencies. It extracts the specific technology, architecture, and quality signals regardless of the stack to ensure the output aligns with the current project environment.

What dimensions should I assess when analyzing codebase quality?

When analyzing codebase quality, you should assess four primary dimensions: technology, architecture, quality, and concerns. Evaluating these areas extracts stack details, module boundaries, data flows, and risk signals needed for effective onboarding and planning.
