PViz Generator – Analyze codebase structure without manual file reading

Summary: PViz Generator analyzes GitHub repositories to produce detailed structural artifacts including dependency graphs, architectural zones, coupling metrics, and circular dependency detection. It helps users quickly understand codebase architecture and identify risky changes by generating versioned JSON outputs for documentation or integration with custom tools.

What it does

PViz scans repositories to map import relationships, group files into architectural zones, measure coupling to highlight risky files, and detect circular dependencies. The results can be exported as JSON for further analysis or use with language models to improve code understanding.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers onboarding to new codebases, tech leads reviewing architecture, consultants performing technical due diligence, and anyone inheriting legacy code.

Why it matters

PViz addresses the challenge of understanding unfamiliar or large codebases by providing a clear architectural overview, reducing time spent reading files or relying on inaccurate AI-generated explanations.
