SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interactive, guided exploration of a codebase to understand architecture, patterns, and implementation details.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured, multi-round exploration that reveals codebase areas and key components.
  • Active recall checks after explanations to reinforce understanding.
  • Depth-adaptive guidance that starts at a high level and optionally dives into concrete files and code.

Quick Start

Trigger /codebase-tour to start the guided exploration and follow the prompts to choose an area to inspect.

FAQPage Schema
How do I explore an unfamiliar codebase to understand its architecture and patterns?

Exploring an unfamiliar codebase is done through an interactive, multi-round tour that guides developers to learn architecture, patterns, and implementation details. It uses phased discovery, active recall checks, and depth-adaptive explanations to reinforce understanding.

What is the best way to onboard developers to a new codebase?

Onboarding developers to a new codebase is best handled by a structured, multi-round exploration that reveals key components. Depth-adaptive guidance starts at a high level and optionally dives into concrete files, while recall checkpoints reinforce learning.

Can I drill into specific implementation details during a codebase tour?

Yes, you can drill into specific implementation details during a codebase tour. The depth-adaptive guidance starts with high-level architecture and allows you to optionally dive into concrete files and code through dynamic direction choices.

Do I need external dependencies to guide codebase exploration?

No, you do not need external dependencies to guide codebase exploration. The interactive tour operates entirely without external dependencies, satisfying requirements for structured discovery, topic drilling, and recall checkpoints.

How does active recall work when learning a codebase?

Active recall works when learning a codebase by inserting recall checks after explanations to reinforce your understanding. This interactive mechanism ensures you grasp the architecture and patterns before moving to the next exploration phase.
