Repo X-Ray: Local AI Tool That Maps and Explains Unfamiliar Codebases
Repo X-Ray is a local-first developer tool that scans a repository and helps users grasp its structure without manually reading hundreds of files. It offers interactive architecture and dependency visualization, AI-generated explanations, impact analysis, code health checks, and documentation generation. The tool runs its AI through Ollama using open-weight models, so private source code never needs to leave the user's machine. Its creator is positioning it as a potential paid product for individuals and teams, and the project is planned to be open source with a live demo and public code available.
