Can this skill visualize code logic?

Yes, it can generate 'Visual Flow' ASCII diagrams that map out function calls, sequential steps, and parallel branching within your code.

Does it support documentation generation?

Yes, it automatically writes session transcripts and structured markdown files like CODEBASE.md and TOUR.md based on your exploration history.

What happens if the codebase is too large?

For large repos, Codebase Mentor identifies specific folders or features and suggests zooming into relevant modules like auth or database services first.

How does Codebase Mentor help with onboarding?

It scans your repository to identify entry points, authentication flows, and data structures, then offers a guided tour to help new developers understand the architecture quickly.
