šŸ“š External Resources


Last Updated: December 2024 Version: 1.0.0

šŸ’” Tip: Bookmark this page for quick access to all documentation!

What's inside

One index page with 7 doc categories, 6 quick-navigation sections, a file tree, and 4 use-case flowcharts.

Change this for your project

  • Replace Code-ReViewer in the file tree path with your repository name
  • Replace GizzZmo/Code-ReViewer in GitHub Issues and Discussions URLs with your org/repo
  • Replace Gemini Code Reviewer in the welcome sentence with your project name
  • Replace Gemini Service API and Gemini API Documentation with your own API references

Where it goes

Save in docs/ or the repository root. Gives agents and new contributors a map of the codebase.

Worth borrowing

  • Use a 'I want to...' section to route readers by goal instead of by document name
  • Include a file tree diagram that shows the recommended reading order for each role
