Onboardy
Repo context workbench for humans and AI agents
Onboardy transforms GitHub repositories into comprehensive, navigable context layers, accelerating understanding of unfamiliar codebases for developers and coding agents. Key features include:
• Architecture maps for visual understanding
• Identification of critical files to read first
• Evidence-backed guides and explanations
• Ownership clues and scoped chat functionality
• Context packs for coding agents
This platform helps engineering teams move through large, complex codebases and multi-repository projects with significantly reduced setup time. It extracts routes, agents, storage, data flows, and dependency relationships, presenting them in an easy-to-scan graph format. Each piece of generated context is inspectable, connecting claims directly to source files, citations, warnings, and ownership signals.
Onboardy elevates beyond static documentation to provide a dynamic context layer. Users can select graph nodes to ask targeted questions about responsibilities, data flows, debugging paths, and essential files. Additionally, it offers executive summaries, onboarding paths, and technical context derived from repo evidence, along with React Flow maps for architecture and data flow. A built-in source explorer allows direct inspection of the sandboxed repository for verification.
Ideal for development teams, new project members, and engineering leads, Onboardy streamlines onboarding, code reviews, and project handovers by providing instant clarity and reducing the cognitive load associated with new or complex code projects.
