An AI agent that reads your codebase, generates an interactive onboarding map, and produces a tailored ramp plan.

**TL;DR:** Read your codebase, generate an interactive onboarding map, identify the high-leverage files every new engineer needs to read first — all from a single CLI command.

The 10-Second Pitch

**What it is:** A codebase analysis agent that produces an interactive onboarding guide from a git repo.
**Who it's for:** Engineering managers, platform teams, any org with onboarding debt.
**Why it matters:** Onboarding friction compounds. Every engineer who takes 2 weeks instead of 2 days to become productive is a tax on team output.
**Stack:** Node.js, reads git history and source files.

Setup Directions

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 18
A git repo with at least 50 commits

Step 1 - Install

npm install @mrtech/codebase-onboarding --save-dev

Step 2 - Generate

npx codebase-onboarding generate --repo ./ --out ./onboarding/

Step 3 - Open Dashboard

npx codebase-onboarding serve --port 3002

Pros / Cons

Dimension	Rating	Notes
Speed	5/5	Full map in under 2 minutes

File Ranking	4/5	Git history + AST analysis surfaces key files

Verdict

Codebase Onboarding addresses onboarding debt directly. The dependency graph visualization alone is worth the install. Re-run it quarterly or after major refactors.
