I would find this more interesting if it made tutorials out if the Linux, LLVM, OpenZFS and FreeBSD codebases.

#13The overview diagrams it creates are pretty interesting, but the tone/style of the AI-generated text is insufferable to me - e.g. https://the-pocket.github.io/Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge/Req...

#18Like at least one other person in the comments mentioned, I would like a slightly different tone.
Perhaps good feature would be a "style template", that can be chosen to match your preferred writing style.
I may submit a PR though not if it takes a lot of time.

The Linux repository has ~50M tokens, which goes beyond the 1M token limit for Gemini 2.5 Pro. I think there are two paths forward: (1) decompose the repository into smaller parts (e.g., kernel, shell, file system, etc.), or (2) wait for larger-context models with a 50M+ input limit.
