Show HN: Generate Markdown Summary of Codebase for an LLM

1 point

a year ago

I've been working on Describe, a simple CLI tool that scans a directory and generates a structured Markdown file (codebase.md). The idea is to make it easier to feed relevant codebase information into AI tools while filtering out noise.

It respects a .describeignore file (same format as .gitignore) to exclude files and directories, which helps keep the output focused. This is particularly useful when integrating with AI-assisted workflows or just getting a high-level overview of a project.

Installable with homebrew!!
