Codebase Onboarding

Understanding an unfamiliar codebase requires building a high-level map of its core modules, domain language, and architectural patterns. This approach helps you form a reliable mental model by analyzing structure and data flow before reading individual lines of code.

Mapping architectural patterns and tracing feature flows involves scanning entry points and reviewing dependencies to detect major system relationships. This read-only tracing synthesizes a structured report detailing the tech stack and navigation guidance for core features.

Discovering domain language during onboarding involves scanning the codebase to identify the project's ubiquitous terminology and key domain concepts. This synthesizes a glossary that clarifies context and accelerates your understanding of the system's business logic.

Yes, you can identify core modules and review tech stack dependencies through read-only module tracing. This non-invasive guidance keeps all recommendations strictly read-only unless you explicitly request changes, ensuring the source code remains unmodified.

Generating a navigation report requires scanning the repository to produce a Map of the Codebase. This structured output includes the tech stack, architecture, domain glossary, and the best navigation path for tracing one core feature flow.
