FAQPage Schema
How do I document codebase architecture with precise file:line references for traceability?▼

Documenting codebase architecture with file:line references involves mapping exact component locations and interactions into a durable CodeResearch.md artifact, providing traceability evidence for planning, auditing, and onboarding.

How do I map data flows and component interactions across a complex software project?▼

To map data flows and component interactions, run an automated analysis that traces integration points and patterns across the codebase, outputting detailed notes with specific file:line evidence to a central markdown document.

Can I generate GitHub permalinks for code documentation when refactoring on pushed commits?▼

Yes, generating GitHub permalinks for code documentation is supported when operating on pushed commits, ensuring that file:line references in the research artifact remain durable and directly accessible during refactoring phases.

What's the best way to discover documentation infrastructure and conventions in an unfamiliar codebase?▼

The best way to discover documentation infrastructure is to conduct codebase research that identifies the framework, configuration, and conventions, compiling these findings with verification commands into a structured markdown report.

Do I need a specific environment setup to document file:line evidence for codebase auditing?▼

No specific dependencies or environment components are required to document file:line evidence for codebase auditing, making it straightforward to generate traceability maps and verification commands in any standard software project.
