Codebase Onboarding

Analyze a codebase and generate onboarding documentation for engineers, tech leads, and contractors. Fast fact-gathering and repeatable onboarding outputs. Use when onboarding a new engineer, writing architecture-overview docs for a new project, or producing tech-lead briefings for unfamiliar repos.

Optimized workflow

This edition turns the source methodology into a repeatable agent workflow with explicit inputs, checkpoints and deliverables.

Quality standard

  • Confirm scope and missing inputs before execution
  • Ground decisions in available evidence and preserve source constraints
  • Return an actionable result with assumptions, risks and next steps

Agent compatibility

The same core method is packaged for Claude, Codex, GPT, Gemini, Cursor and OpenCode.
