Description
I built a CLI tool that turns codebases and PRs into diagrams so you can quickly understand how things fit together. Originally made it because I couldn't follow my own AI-generated repos.Just shipped a big update:- Switched from D2 to Mermaid for rendering - Tree-sitter AST parsing + agentic flow instead of raw LLM calls. ~50x faster. - Works on any GitHub repo or PR, not just local - Dropped the web frontend, it's just a CLI now - Published as a pip packageStill a ton to improve and I'm building fast. Feedback, issues, PRs all welcome.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a CLI tool that parses code with standard Tree-sitter libraries and sends structure prompts to Claude's API to output Mermaid diagrams.
