Import an Existing Codebase

Use import when you want Opheleon to create documentation from an existing GitHub repository.

When to use import

Use this workflow when:

• Your team has an existing codebase.
• Documentation is missing or stale.
• You want to understand the current system before planning new work.
• New team members need a clearer baseline.

How it works

1. Connect GitHub.
2. Choose the repository and branch to import.
3. Start the import run.
4. Opheleon analyzes the codebase and drafts planning documents.
5. Review and correct the drafts.
6. Commit the documents when they are accurate.

Import helps create a grounded starting point, but human review is still important. Code can show how the system works, but it cannot always explain the business reason behind a decision.

Import from GitHub

Import initializes Opheleon with context from an existing repository before future planning begins.
