Analyze Codebase Structure → Generate Documentation → Create Onboarding Guide
Automatically analyze your codebase architecture and generate comprehensive documentation and onboarding materials for new developers.
Workflow Steps
GitHub
Extract repository structure and key files
Use GitHub's API or export key files including README, package.json, main configuration files, and directory structure. Focus on entry points, main modules, and architectural patterns.
Claude
Analyze architecture and generate documentation
Feed the codebase structure to Claude with a prompt asking it to identify the architecture pattern, main components, data flow, and dependencies. Request both technical documentation and a beginner-friendly explanation.
Notion
Create structured documentation pages
Create a Notion database with pages for Architecture Overview, Component Guide, Setup Instructions, and Common Patterns. Use Claude's output to populate these pages with proper formatting and cross-links.
Loom
Record walkthrough video
Create a screen recording walking through the Notion documentation while explaining the codebase structure. This provides visual context and makes the documentation more accessible for visual learners.
