Have you tried it? It's absurdly useful.

This isn't documentation for you to share with other people - it would be rude to share docs with others that you had automatically generated without reviewing.

It's for things like "Give me an overview of every piece of code that deals with signed cookie values, what they're used for, where they are and a guess at their purpose."

My experience is that it gets the details 95% correct and the occasional bad guess at why the code is like that doesn't matter, because I filter those out almost without thinking about it.





Yes, I have. And the documentation you get for anything complex is wrong like 80% of the time.

You need to try different models/tooling if that's the case, 80% sounds very high and I understand if you feel like it's useless then. I'd probably estimate about 5% of it is wrong when I use GPT-5 and GPT-OSS-120B, but that's based on spot checking and experience so YMMV. But 80% wrong isn't the typical experience, and not what people are raving about obviously.

80% of the time? Are you sure you aren't hallucinating?
