SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly orient within an unfamiliar codebase and avoid getting stuck guessing where logic lives or how data flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture discovery: Builds a high-level understanding of the repo’s structure and major community/module boundaries.
  • Targeted navigation: Uses semantic search to locate specific functions or classes by intent.
  • Relationship tracing: Maps callers, callees, and import relationships to follow execution paths and understand dependencies.

Example use case: You need to find how a feature is triggered and where its side effects occur, then trace the path from an entry point through the relevant modules.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to explore the repository’s architecture, locate the relevant functions for your feature request, and trace the end-to-end execution flow using the code-review-graph tools.

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand an unfamiliar codebase architecture quickly?

To understand an unfamiliar codebase architecture quickly, map high-level module boundaries and relationships to orient yourself and avoid guessing where logic lives or how data flows.

How do I trace execution flow and dependencies across modules?

Trace execution flow and dependencies by mapping callers, callees, and import relationships to follow execution paths from entry points through relevant modules to their side effects.

Can I locate specific functions by intent using semantic search?

You can locate specific functions by intent using semantic search to perform targeted navigation, finding relevant classes and functions based on their purpose rather than exact string matching.

What is the best way to plan refactoring or prepare for a code review?

The best way to plan refactoring or prepare for a code review is to discover the repository architecture and trace responsibility boundaries to understand the impact of your changes.

How do I find where a feature is triggered and its side effects occur?

Find where a feature is triggered and its side effects occur by tracing the path from an entry point through relevant modules using relationship queries and flow inspection.
