Context-Aware Agentic Onboarding Buddy

The Context-Aware Agentic Onboarding Buddy is an innovative developer experience (DX) tool created to eliminate the friction and delay typically associated with onboarding developers onto legacy or complex multi-file codebases. By leveraging local lightweight Python scripting alongside the multi-file reasoning capabilities of IBM Bob, this utility solves a massive industry pain point: outdated, manually maintained repository guides. The technical workflow operates seamlessly in three separate layers. First, a local ingestion engine built in Python crawls the repository root directory, applying intelligent directory exclusion matrices to filter out virtual environments, dependency folders, and temporary build caches. This isolates only active core code files and prints an optimized structural payload template. Second, this compressed metadata template is fed directly into IBM Bob under a custom 'ArchitectureArchitect' mode, bypassing token limits and local noise. Third, IBM Bob executes a multi-step planning loop, parsing codebase interdependencies, configuration scripts, and components. It then automatically writes a permanent, clean architectural guide ('ARCHITECTURE.md') directly back into the repository disk workspace. This automation bridges the gap between active development and up-to-date documentation. It replaces manual, error-prone mapping sessions with a 5-second automated asset, giving engineers instant clarity on Component routers, configurations, and core application structures.
