CodeGuardian: AI-Powered Codebase Documentation

[](https://github.com/your-username/codeguardian) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) [](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

A command-line tool that maps and documents codebases of any size using parallel AI sub-agents.

About The Project

CodeGuardian is designed to give developers a high-level overview of any new or existing codebase. It recursively scans a target directory, dispatches AI-powered analysis agents to each file, and generates a consolidated report of the project's structure, components, and complexity.

This tool helps in:

• Quickly onboarding new developers.
• Identifying key components and potential areas for refactoring.
• Generating automatic documentation stubs.

Features

• Parallel Analysis: Utilizes multiple AI agents to process files concurrently, making it fast and efficient for large codebases.
• Extensible Agent System: Easily extendable to support different types of analysis (e.g., security vulnerabilities, style-guide compliance, dependency checking).
• CLI Interface: Simple and intuitive command-line for easy integration into your workflow.
• Platform Agnostic: Built with Python, it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
