Compass

Understand any codebase in 30 minutes.

The Problem

Engineering teams inherit legacy systems with no documentation, no owner context, and no safe entry point for change. Onboarding takes months. AI assistants make it worse - they hallucinate structure that doesn’t exist.

What It Does

Ingests an unfamiliar codebase and produces grounded intelligence:

Structured CODE_MAP - modules, dependencies, entry points
Dependency graph - what calls what
Dead code report - symbols with no callers
Context-aware Q&A grounded in real symbols and file relationships

Try It

activate nablr
Set agent to discovery. Scan this codebase and generate a CODE_MAP

For a legacy system with no docs:

Set agent to discovery. Initialize this project - generate codemap, architecture doc, and feature list

Q&A after scan:

Where is the authentication logic?
What calls the payment processor?
Which modules have the highest coupling?

Expected Output

codemap/CODE_MAP.md - structured map of the codebase
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md - inferred architecture overview
FEATURES.md - feature list derived from code
Dead code report - safe-to-delete candidates

Who This Is For

Engineering leads inheriting unknown systems
Agencies conducting technical due diligence
M&A technical audits
New CTOs assessing inherited platforms

Compass runs on free tier. No trial or subscription required to generate a CODE_MAP.
