codebase-explainer

Produce a durable onboarding artifact for a codebase — writes `ONBOARDING.md` (or `docs/ONBOARDING.md` if `docs/` exists) covering a "read this first" minimum, system overview, dependency map (top-level deps + how each is actually used), startup flow (entry points → bootstrap → config), auth flow (or explicit "none detected"), and 5–15 important files — every claim backed by a `file:line` citation. Walks the repo via parallel Explore sub-agents so big projects don't blow context, calls out what makes THIS codebase…

Source changelog

Initial release of codebase-explainer — an automated, citation-based onboarding artifact generator for code repositories. - Produces a detailed, durable ONBOARDING.md covering system overview, dependency map, startup and auth flows, and top files—every claim cited with file:line. - Explores the repo using parallel Explore sub-agents, ensuring deep context even for large or complex projects. - Refreshes existing onboarding docs in-place instead of overwriting them. - Focuses on what makes THIS codebase non-obvious—avoiding generic framework descriptions. - Offers a condensed "read this first" summary in chat and an optional sharing step for teammates.
