SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly answer questions about a code repository using evidence from the source files. This approach grounds explanations in actual code, reducing guesswork and increasing reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

Analyze repository sources to answer questions about how components work, where definitions reside, and how modules interact.
Provide precise, file-and-line citations when a remote repository URL is available, or local citations when working with a local copy.
Use cases include codebase onboarding, architecture clarifications, and targeted debugging tasks.

Quick Start

Explain how a specific module works by analyzing its codebase and citing relevant source files.

FAQPage Schema

How do I get answers to codebase questions with source citations?▼

To get answers to codebase questions with source citations, you analyze repository sources to locate definitions and explain component interactions, grounding explanations in actual code with precise file-and-line citations.

What is the best way to understand how a module works in a remote repository?▼

The best way to understand how a module works in a remote repository is querying the source files, which yields explanations of component interactions and architecture with linked citations to exact lines.

Can I navigate a local code copy and get citations without a remote URL?▼

Yes, you can navigate a local code copy and get citations without a remote URL. The analysis works for local copies and produces local citations pointing to the exact source files on your machine.

Does source analysis help with codebase onboarding and finding definitions?▼

Source analysis helps with codebase onboarding and finding definitions by analyzing repository sources to answer questions about where definitions reside and how modules interact, reducing guesswork with grounded evidence.

Why use source file analysis instead of guessing how components interact?▼

You use source file analysis instead of guessing how components interact because it grounds explanations in actual code, increasing reliability and providing precise citations to exact file lines for verification.
