Onboard to a New Team
New to a team or codebase? Driver compresses weeks of exploration into hours. Start with the big picture, then drill into the areas that matter for your first tasks.
Example prompts
- "I'm new to this codebase. Walk me through the architecture."
- "What are the main feature areas in my-backend?"
- "How do deployments work?"
- "What conventions does this codebase follow?"
What happens
The agent reads three Driver resources:
- get_architecture_overview: Returns the system structure, component relationships, and design decisions.
- get_llm_onboarding_guide: Returns conventions, patterns, and important context specific to this codebase.
- get_code_map: Shows the top-level directory structure with descriptions of each module.
The agent synthesizes these into a walkthrough tailored to your question. Follow up by asking about specific areas. The agent will call get_code_map at deeper levels and get_file_documentation to inspect individual files.
After the initial walkthrough, ask about the area most relevant to your first task. "How does the billing module work?" gives you targeted depth that maps directly to the code you will touch first.
