cartographer
An AI agent tool for code repositories that takes an unfamiliar codebase as input and outputs an onboarding map, including execution entry points, the core file set, end-to-end data paths, and the location recommended for the first modification. It addresses the time developers spend becoming familiar with unfamiliar codebases.
