CodeBoarding

CodeBoarding is an open-source tool designed for codebase analysis, providing high-level diagram representations using advanced static analysis and large language model (LLM) agents. This tool enhances onboarding, documentation, and understanding of complex systems, making it ideal for developers working on large-scale projects.

Key Features:

• Modular Visualization: Extracts modules and their relationships using the control flow graph of the project, creating a clear visual representation.
• Multi-level Abstraction: Utilizes LLM agents to generate diagrams at varying levels of abstraction, supporting multiple providers for flexibility.
• Interactive Diagrams: Outputs diagrams in Mermaid.js format, enabling easy integration into documentation, integrated development environments (IDEs), and CI/CD pipelines.
