Why we included this project
Swark is a VS Code extension that reads your source files, sends them through an LLM, and returns a Mermaid.js diagram of the architecture, giving you a visual map of how a repository fits together without reading every file. Because the reasoning lives in the model rather than in hand-written parsers, it works across languages and frameworks without extra configuration, which is handy when you're onboarding to an unfamiliar codebase or reviewing AI-generated code. It plugs straight into GitHub Copilot, so there's no separate API key to manage, and the code it sends stays within Copilot instead of being routed to other services. The diagram you get is editable by hand, making it a practical first step for building a mental model of a system before you dive into the details.
