I made a CLI tool that replaces the first 15 minutes of exploring any new codebase

Codeglance is a new CLI for quickly understanding unfamiliar repositories.

It scans manifest files like package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, and pyproject.toml to identify the stack and explain how to run the project.

It also ranks likely entry-point files so developers know what to inspect first.

An optional AI-focused summary mode is available for tools like Claude Code and Cursor to speed up onboarding.
