orient

To generate an onboarding guide for a new codebase, use a skill that automatically writes a structured orientation document at the project root. It outlines repo structure, languages, key files, and common gotchas to help new contributors understand the project quickly.

The best way to help new contributors learn project structure is providing a reusable orientation document outlining workflow and core concepts. An automated guide generation approach creates this documentation by analyzing the repository and writing a concise summary.

Automatic codebase orientation documentation works by analyzing the repository and writing an orientation markdown file to the project root. It safely appends a suffix if an existing document is present to avoid overwriting and preserve history.

Yes, you can automatically document repo structure without overwriting existing orientation files. The generation process safely appends a suffix to the new file name if an orientation document already exists, preserving previous documentation history.

Yes, repo orientation supports guided exercises for new developers. The generated orientation guide includes two guided exercises alongside outlines of repo structure, languages, key files, core concepts, and common gotchas.
