codebase-overview

You generate an onboarding-ready codebase overview by applying a four-phase discovery process—DETECT, EXPLORE, MAP, SUMMARIZE—to surface entry points, core modules, data models, and API surfaces with file-level evidence in a structured markdown report.

Identifying entry points and core modules requires mapping the repository's architecture through a phased discovery process that surfaces main bootstrapping files, data models, and API surfaces backed by absolute file path citations.

Yes, codebase discovery operates with zero external dependencies or components, relying on an advanced internal reasoning design to systematically analyze the repository and produce evidence-backed architectural summaries.

Yes, you map API surfaces and data models from existing code through the EXPLORE and MAP phases, which analyze repository files to extract structural evidence and cite specific absolute paths for architectural claims.

An onboarding-ready codebase summary report includes detected project type and language, mapped entry points, core modules, configuration, and tests, all presented as evidence-backed claims with absolute file paths in structured markdown format.

Use systematic codebase exploration when onboarding new contributors to complex architectures, replacing manual file reading with a structured four-phase methodology that guarantees evidence-backed architectural mapping and faster ramp-up.
