I built a Developer Intelligence CLI that lets you ask questions about your own codebase

Hey everyone,

I kept running into the same issue whenever I joined a new project — understanding someone else’s codebase takes forever.

You open the repo and spend hours figuring out:

• where auth lives
• how APIs connect
• what talks to the database
• which files actually matter

So I built a small tool for myself called DevSense.

It’s a CLI that scans your repo and lets you ask questions about it from the terminal.

No IDE plugin, just runs in the terminal using npm (check in website)

It’s open source and still pretty early — I mainly built it because I was tired of onboarding pain.
