Codeboarding – Interactive architecture diagrams for codebases
CodeBoarding is a tool designed to provide developers with visual maps of their codebases. It integrates static analysis with LLM reasoning to create architecture diagrams and documentation. This helps in maintaining visibility of architecture while coding and facilitates understanding of large repositories.
- ▪CodeBoarding generates high-level system architecture diagrams and detailed component diagrams.
- ▪It allows developers to review AI-generated changes with context to avoid hidden debt.
- ▪The tool provides incremental updates based on changes in the codebase.
