How does it handle large, overwhelming repositories?

It follows a phased exploration strategy, starting with high-level directory trees before performing a deep dive into specific entry points and configuration files.

Is it limited to specific programming languages?

No, it includes predefined patterns and detection logic for Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby, PHP, and C/C++.

How does Codebase Explorer identify the tech stack?

It scans the root directory for specific manifest files such as package.json, pyproject.toml, or Cargo.toml to accurately determine the programming language and framework.

Does it generate documentation of its findings?

Yes, it uses a standardized output template to provide a structured overview of the project type, structure, key files, and architecture notes.

Can it find specific logic like API routes?

Yes, it uses optimized grep patterns to locate common routing signatures and decorators across various languages and web frameworks.
