Devscope - A faster way to understand any codebase

by•
Descope Pro is a CLI tool for deep project analysis. It scans directories, maps file structures, extracts code context, and produces clear project overviews and documentation-ready summaries. Designed for fast navigation and understanding of large or unfamiliar repos. Works seamlessly in VS Code, WSL Ubuntu, Linux terminals, and Termux. Built to improve developer workflow and project clarity.

I built Descope Pro because I kept struggling with understanding unfamiliar or messy codebases—especially when switching between VS Code, WSL Ubuntu, Linux terminals, and Termux. Jumping into a new repo always meant spending too much time digging through files just to figure out the structure. I started this project as a very simple context-cli, but as I worked, I kept improving it to handle deeper scanning, better summaries, clearer directory mapping, and a smoother workflow for real developers. What began as a small helper tool slowly evolved into something that genuinely improved my own productivity. Descope Pro exists to make it easier for developers to onboard quickly, navigate large projects, and get immediate clarity without the usual manual digging. I built the tool I wished I had years ago — and I hope it helps other developers the same way.

Interesting. Can it go through any code repository in any language and also parse the AST tree to map all the functions?

@chilarai Not yet, It can scan files and do simple heuristics, but it doesn't parse ASTs for every language. But that's the reason I published it online for such questions...They become new ideas and new features I can add on.
