FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a codebase to understand its architecture and quality?

To analyze a codebase for architecture and quality, you can use parallel mapper agents that explore different aspects simultaneously and generate structured documents for comprehensive understanding.

What is the best way to get a quick codebase analysis for a specific focus area?

For a quick codebase analysis targeting a specific area like technology, run the tool with a fast scan flag to get rapid, focused results without performing a full comprehensive review.

Can I perform parallel code exploration to map out technical concerns?

Yes, you can perform parallel code exploration by deploying multiple mapper agents that focus on different areas such as technology, architecture, quality, and concerns concurrently.

What structured documents are generated during a comprehensive codebase analysis?

A comprehensive codebase analysis generates seven structured documents within a dedicated planning directory, capturing the complete state and aspects of the codebase for review.

Do I need any external dependencies to run mapper agents for codebase analysis?

No external dependencies are required to run mapper agents for codebase analysis, as the tool operates independently using its internal scripts to generate the output documents.

When should I use parallel processing for codebase analysis instead of manual review?

Use parallel processing for codebase analysis when you need to streamline the process of understanding a large codebase and require structured documents about its state efficiently.
