Inspect safely
Choose your existing coding agent and explicitly authorize a bounded analysis of the source.
Codebase onboarding, made navigable
Climb into a codebase with a curriculum, not a scavenger hunt.
rope-ladder studies a repository through your chosen coding agent, then creates cited references, readable architecture and entity diagrams, a prerequisite-aware lesson plan, and a private teaching-assistant journal.
The learning loop
Start with the map. Learn the terrain in order.
Follow the ladder
Read concise references, architecture and entity maps, then move through prerequisite-aware lessons.
Keep the signal
The local TA asks one focused question at a time and records only your private reflections.
Share when it is yours to share
Public curricula are reviewed pull requests.
When a curriculum comes from source you may disclose, rope-ladder can prepare a candidate for the public catalog. It never publishes automatically, and it never uploads journals, workspace state, caches, or provider credentials.
