Developer @Astrodevil fed an entire repo — hono, 467 files, 660K tokens — into the open-source 1M-context DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 in a single prompt. Within seconds it produced a map of the framework and a line-by-line tour of request routing, then answered follow-ups and wrote docs for all 13 modules.
- Effectively gitdiagram + deepwiki + codetour + codeviz in one
- The whole session cost $0.63 on Nebius, bring-your-own-key
- Runs in a single Docker container and works on local folders and PRs too
