LACY: LLM-Powered Code Tours Simulate Expert Mentoring for Software Onboarding
Kara, İsmail et al. present LACY, a system that uses LLMs to generate interactive 'code tours' that simulate expert walkthroughs for new developers onboarding to unfamiliar codebases. Expert walkthroughs are the most effective onboarding method but don't scale — LACY generates guided paths through code with contextual explanations, compensating for insufficient documentation. Published in cs.SE, relevant to any team using AI to accelerate developer onboarding in large codebases.
