Which file does what. How the pieces connect. Where the data actually flows.</p> <p>I got tired of that, so I built <strong>Floorplan</strong> — a free plugin for Claude Code and Codex that reads your codebase and generates an interactive, plain-English map showing how your app actually fits together.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <p>Floorplan maps:</p> <ul> <li>Files and their roles</li> <li>Web requests and routes</li> <li>Connections between components</li> <li>Key logic and entry points</li> </ul> <p>The result is a visual overview you can read in minutes, not hours.</p> <h2> Why I built it </h2> <p>Every time I picked up a new project, I'd spend way too long just getting oriented. Reading file by file. Tracing function calls manually. I wanted something that could just tell me "here's how this app works" in plain English.</p> <p>Floorplan solves exactly that.</p> <h2> Zero friction to use </h2> <ul> <li>No config or setup</li> <li>Zero dependencies</li> <li>Runs locally on your machine</li> <li>MIT licensed</li> <li>Node.js 18+</li> </ul> <p>Nothing to install beyond the plugin itself. No accounts. No paid tiers. No analytics.</p> <h2> Get it </h2> <p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/haydenschmitty/floorplan" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/haydenschmitty/floorplan</a></p> <p>Would love to hear what you think. If you try it on your own codebase, let me know how it goes in the comments.</p> claudecode opensource devtools ai
