FAQPage Schema
How do I create a project overview for onboarding new engineers?▼

A project overview summarizes your codebase architecture and directory structure by reading project metadata and content to provide a structured guide. This accelerates onboarding by mapping packages, modules, and dependencies so new engineers understand the layout and tech stack immediately.

What's the best way to navigate a monorepo's structure and dependencies?▼

Navigating a monorepo requires a visual map of its architecture showing package locations and interdependencies. A comprehensive project overview breaks down the directory structure and tech stack, enabling engineers to locate components quickly and understand how packages relate to each other.

Can I use project overview to plan a codebase refactor?▼

Yes. A project overview visualizes your architecture and package layout, making it easier to identify dependencies and structural patterns before refactoring. This preparation helps teams make informed architectural decisions and avoid breaking changes during large-scale modifications.

How does reading SKILL.md frontmatter help generate an accurate codebase overview?▼

SKILL.md frontmatter contains project metadata and descriptions that structure the overview generation. Combined with the project body, this frontmatter enables the tool to enforce discovery requirements and deliver a guided, actionable summary tailored to your codebase's actual organization.

What information does a project overview provide about tech stack and architecture?▼

A project overview delivers a complete tech-stack summary and architectural map showing how components, packages, and modules relate. It provides enough context to understand your system's design patterns, dependencies, and structure without requiring manual exploration.
