ONBOARDING.md is generated to help new contributors understand a codebase quickly by reconstructing the project's mental model from the code itself. It will overwrite existing ONBOARDING.md to ensure the latest structure and details are captured.

Core Features & Use Cases

Rebuilds ONBOARDING.md from scratch to reflect current code and architecture.
Six-section structure covering purpose, inventory, architecture, concepts, flows, and contributor guidance.
Useful when onboarding new team members or when a repo lacks onboarding documentation.
