To map a codebase, you identify package structures, entities, and controllers to document business domains. This traces major workflows from entry points to data stores, generating a domain map and Mermaid sequence diagrams.

The best way to generate ER diagrams and sequence diagrams for onboarding is structuring domain-focused exploration. This tracks major flows and data models, producing Mermaid ER diagrams and sequence diagrams to capture business and technical perspectives.

To document external integrations and business rules when learning a codebase, you trace major workflows from entry points to data stores. The exploration output is saved as a Markdown report under docs/exploration, including notable gotchas.

Yes, you can generate domain maps and exploration reports for multiple tech stacks. The workflow captures business and technical perspectives, mapping entities, services, and data models across different frameworks.

You create a codebase exploration report to accelerate feature discovery by identifying domains, workflows, and data models. The output is saved as a Markdown file under docs/exploration/[domain-or-feature]-overview.md, detailing external integrations.
