DEDUPEDWho it is forA tech lead who wants reviewers and new teammates to explore the architecture without installing a server or sharing the repository with a remote service.
The problemArchitecture diagrams drift out of date, and static images cannot show call direction or evidence.
The outcomeA self-contained HTML page that teammates can open in a browser to search symbols, follow relationships, and jump to source.
What you need first
- A terminal on macOS, Linux, or Windows
- A local project folder or Git repository to analyze
- Rust 1.97.1 or newer only if you build from source
Steps
cd your-projectand runcompass init.compass export html --architecture-graph(inferred, check the README)- Open the HTML file that the export wrote and send it to teammates along with a note about the snapshot. (inferred, check the README)
code --install-extension crabbuild.crabbuild-compass-vscodefor teammates who want the same workbench inside VS Code.
Prompt for your agent
In the repository at <project path>, run `compass export html --architecture-graph` with the crabbuild/compass CLI. Expected output: a self-contained HTML workbench file. Verify that the file opens in a browser without network access and that the architecture view shows the repository's communities.
Caveat. The exported page reflects the snapshot at export time, so re-export after major changes before sharing it.
