My special hack on top of what you suggested: Ask it to draw the whole codebase in graphviz compatible graphing markup language. There are various tools out there to render this as an SVG or whatever, to get an actual map of the system. Very helpful when diving in to a big new area.


You can use mermaid format instead of graphviz, then paste it into a markdown file and github will render it inline.
