FAQPage Schema

How do I generate onboarding documentation for a new codebase?▼

Generate onboarding documentation by analyzing repository signals to produce audience-tailored guides. The analyzer discovers architecture, inventories key config files, and scaffolds contributor checklists for engineers, tech leads, and contractors.

What is the best way to create a contributor guide for new engineers?▼

The best way to create a contributor guide is to analyze your codebase to extract stack and architecture details, then load content from templates to produce setup guidance and contribution checklists tailored for new engineers.

Can I use codebase analysis to produce setup guidance for contractors?▼

Yes, you can use codebase analysis to produce audience-aware documentation specifically for contractors. The analyzer extracts local setup steps and common-task guidance from repository signals to generate tailored onboarding guides.

How does architecture discovery work for a refactored repository?▼

Architecture discovery works by scanning repository signals in refactored repositories to identify the tech stack and key file inventory. It applies this output to onboarding scenarios, generating structured documentation for new contributors.

What's included in developer-experience onboarding docs generated from templates?▼

Developer-experience onboarding docs include architecture discovery, key file and config inventory, local setup guidance, and debugging checklists. These sections are generated by loading structured content from templates during codebase analysis.
