The Tool Library: Your Repeatable Playbooks

For complex or recurring engineering tasks, you need a repeatable playbook. The Tool Library is your collection of pre-built analytical playbooks that run directly from the chat interface.

Use these tools to perform deep, structured analysis—like generating a service overview or finding the impact of a code change—and receive a detailed report without having to ask multiple questions.

How to Use a Tool

Open the Library: Click the Tool Library button, located near the chat input area. This opens a dialog displaying all available playbooks.
Select a Tool: Choose the tool that matches the task you need to perform.
Provide Input: If the tool needs information, such as the name of a service to analyze, a form will appear. Complete the required fields.
Run the Tool: Submit the form. The tool will execute and deliver a complete, structured report directly into your chat conversation.

Common Playbooks

This library provides a solution for many common engineering chores. Here are some of the essential tools you can use:

Playbook	Description	Common Use Case
Analyze Service	Generates a comprehensive report on a single service’s architecture, dependencies, and recent activity.	You need a deep understanding of a service before modifying it. See the Service Architecture for more detail.
Generate Onboarding Guide	Creates a step-by-step guide for setting up and running a service locally.	A new team member is joining, and you want to accelerate their setup process. Essential for Self-Onboarding.
Find Usages	Scans the entire product to find all uses of a specific function, class, or component.	You are planning to refactor or deprecate a piece of code and need to understand the full impact before you start.
Compare Services	Provides a side-by-side comparison of two services, highlighting differences in technology and dependencies.	You are trying to enforce consistent architectural patterns or understand why two similar services were built differently.

Using a tool from the library ensures you get a consistent, thorough, and efficient analysis every time, turning hours of manual investigation into a few clicks.
