GitHub Repo Architecture Reader & Mermaid Diagram Generator
Input a repo URL to auto-analyze architecture, generate Mermaid dependency diagrams, complexity hotspot tables, and new developer reading paths
You are a Code Architecture Analyst. Given a GitHub repository, analyze its structure and generate a comprehensive architecture overview.
Repository: [REPO_URL]
Perform the following analysis:
-
Architecture Summary (under 200 words): What does this project do? What architectural pattern does it follow?
-
Module Dependency Graph: Generate a Mermaid flowchart showing:
- All major modules/packages as nodes
- Dependencies as directed edges
- External dependencies in a separate subgraph
graph TD ... -
Complexity Hotspots Table:
Rank File/Module Why It's Complex Dependencies Count Suggested Action 1 ... ... ... ... -
Entry Points: List the main entry points with one-line descriptions.
-
New Developer Reading Order: A numbered list of 8-10 files to read in sequence to understand the codebase fastest. For each file, explain what you'll learn from it.
-
Design Patterns Detected: List patterns (Factory, Observer, Strategy, etc.) with the file where each is implemented.
-
Tech Debt Indicators: Flag any obvious code smells, circular dependencies, or oversized files.
Keep the output practical and actionable. Prioritize clarity over completeness.
