To understand an unfamiliar codebase quickly, scan the project structure, read core documentation like README and CONTRIBUTING.md, and analyze build configurations to generate a structured summary of the project's purpose and state.
The best way to get project context for onboarding is to survey the file system, review git history, and detect build tools like package.json or Makefile to provide a comprehensive overview of the layout and current development focus.
Project structure scanning works by reading the file system, identifying key documentation files, and analyzing build system configurations to summarize the project's tooling, layout, and orientation for new developers.
Yes, you need git commands to analyze the project's current state, as scanning git history is required to gather essential project information and generate a structured contextual summary of the codebase.
Yes, you can use this to detect and analyze build tools and task runners by reading configuration files like justfile, package.json, Makefile, and pyproject.toml to identify the project's tooling setup.
Documentation files needed to build deep codebase context include README, CLAUDE.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md, which are read alongside project structure and build configurations to summarize understanding.
