Join a new team and get productive fast. This workflow combines analysis, interactive teaching, and documentation plugins to help you understand any codebase deeply, from architecture down to individual patterns.
Scan the entire project to understand its architecture, dependencies, and key patterns. Legacy Analyzer produces a comprehensive map of modules, entry points, and how data flows through the system.
Focus on the most critical modules identified in step 1. Understand business logic, data models, and integration points that you’ll need to work with day-to-day.
Use Code Tutor to get interactive, personalized explanations of complex code areas. Ask questions, get guided tours of tricky patterns, and build real understanding, not just surface familiarity.
Capture everything you’ve learned into well-structured documentation. Creates onboarding guides, architecture decision records, and module-level docs that help the whole team.
Start with /analyze-legacy --overview to get a bird’s eye view before diving into specific modules. This helps you understand the dependency graph first.
Use Code Tutor’s interactive mode to ask follow-up questions about patterns you don’t understand. It adapts explanations to your experience level.
Generate docs as you learn, this creates a knowledge base that benefits the next person who joins the team.
