This - I even ran Claude to produce a security eval of openclaw for fun and it was mostly spot on - https://sriku.org/files/openclaw-secreport-claude-13feb2026....

If your project is on Github, you can also use https://deepwiki.com/. I have used it to get an overview of a new codebase quickly.

To make a parallel to actual human language: you can understand well a foreign language and not be able to speak it at the same level.

I found myself in that situation with both foreign languages and with programming languages / frameworks - understanding is much easier than creating something good. You can of course revert to a poorer vocabulary / simpler constructions (in both cases), but an "expert" speaker/writer will get a better result. For many cases the delta can be ignored, for some cases it matters.

Hey, I also sent this to feedback@nugget.one, but just in case it doesn't arrive:

I wasn't able to get into your 'startup ideas' site.

Signing in with google led to internal server error, and signing in with a password, I never received the verification email.

Thought I would let you know. Can't wait to get those sweet startup ideas....!

> I used Claude to document, in great detail, a 500k-line codebase in about an hour of well-directed prompts

Yes, but have you fully verified that the documentation generated matches the code? This is like me saying I used Claude to generate a year long workout plan. And that is lovely. But the generated thing needs to match what you wanted it for. And for that, you need verification. For all you know, half of your document is not only nonsense but it is not obvious that it's nonsense until you run the relevant code and see the mismatch.
