System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It reduces the time and guesswork required to understand an unfamiliar codebase by turning scattered implementation details into a structured architecture brief that highlights how the system is shaped and how data moves.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagram-in-prose: Produces an ASCII-style component and data-flow explanation that clarifies request paths and responsibilities.
  • State and boundaries mapping: Identifies where state lives, what is authoritative vs derived, and where trust or process/network boundaries introduce risk.
  • Lifecycle and conventions summary: Captures startup/shutdown sequencing and the codebase’s enforced conventions so new reviewers can reason about behavior quickly.

Use case: After onboarding to a new repository, you need to brief teammates on the system’s major components, integrations, state stores, and boundaries in a single page suitable for review.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate a one-page architecture brief for the current repository after you’ve run explore-codebase and find-entry-point.
