To get a high-level overview of an unfamiliar codebase, you need to generate a module map that outlines system architecture and module interactions. This contextualizes project structures quickly for onboarding or refactoring.

Understanding module relationships before refactoring requires moving up a layer of abstraction to see the bigger picture. Project metadata and code analysis generate comprehensive maps of caller relationships and overall architecture.

Code analysis maps caller relationships by utilizing project metadata to generate comprehensive maps and summaries. This process expands your contextual understanding by outlining relevant modules and their interactions within the system architecture.

Yes, you can use this to quickly contextualize unfamiliar code for onboarding. It guides the agent to move up a layer of abstraction, providing broader context and high-level overviews of complex project structures.

Generating a system overview does not require specific dependencies. The process relies on existing project metadata and code analysis to outline modules and relationships without needing external framework installations.

You should avoid using high-level architecture summaries when you need granular line-by-line logic rather than system overviews. This approach focuses on broader context and module interactions, omitting detailed implementation depth.
