FAQPage Schema

How do I orient myself to a new project repository?▼

Project orientation involves identifying the platform, reading essential documents, and checking open todos. By accessing the project repository and reviewing knowledge snapshots, you get a complete summary of the project's current state.

Can I navigate local project repositories and cloud sandboxes using the same orientation process?▼

Yes, project orientation works across local machines, Devin VM, Codex, and cloud sandboxes. The process identifies the platform environment and accesses the repository to provide a consistent project summary regardless of where the code is hosted.

Do I need git and curl installed to summarize a project repository?▼

Yes, git and curl are required dependencies for project orientation. The process requires script execution and environment checking to access the repository, review guidelines, and interact with knowledge bases and todo tracking systems.

What is the best way to track open tasks when starting work on an unfamiliar codebase?▼

The best way to track open tasks in an unfamiliar codebase is to use project orientation that lists open todos and reviews agent guidelines. This ensures you connect to the todo tracking system and understand existing task contexts before starting work.

How do I get a project summary with a single command?▼

You can get a project summary with a single command by passing the repository name as an argument to the orientation tool. It executes scripts to check the environment, read knowledge snapshots, and output the project's current state.
