Codebase Cartographer

Developers spend 70% of their time just reading code. Onboarding to new codebases or debugging "spaghetti code" is painful because file structures hide logical dependencies. Documentation rots, but code never lies.

The Solution: Codebase Cartographer is a zero-config AI CLI that instantly visualizes your project's architecture.

Hybrid Engine: A custom Python/FastAPI backend with a regex-based polyglot parser (supports Python, JS, TS, Java).

AI Intelligence: Uses Google Gemini 2.5 Flash to generate plain-English summaries and critical risk warnings (e.g., "Editing this function breaks payment processing").

Interactive Map: Renders a navigable React Flow graph of your entire codebase.

Why it helps: It turns invisible dependencies into a visible map. Instead of grepping through 50 files to find a bug, devs can see the flow, understand risks via AI warnings, and fix issues instantly.
