What problem does it solve?

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive Describe mode: explain how code works with inline blocks and plain-English narration.
  • Explore mode: guided learning tour of a new codebase to illuminate structure, entry points, and workflows.
  • File mode: walk through any Markdown document section-by-section with anchored context.
  • Session persistence: auto-capture sessions into structured docs (CODEBASE.md, TOUR.md, FILE-NOTES.md, SESSION-TRANSCRIPT.md).
