I've thought about this quite a bit. I think a tool like that would be really useful. I can imagine asking questions like "I think this big codebase exposes a rest interface for receiving some sort of credit check object. Can you find it and show me a sequence diagram for how it is implemented?"

The challenge is that the codebase is likely much larger than what would fit into a single codebase. IMO, the LLM really needs to be taught to consume the project incrementally and build up a sort of "mental model" of it to really make this useful. I suspect that a combination of tool usage and RL could produce an incredibly useful tool for this.
