Sothspell
Sothspell is an AI and LLM-guided walkthrough tool that explains software codebases like a narrated film.
Sothspell is an AI-guided walkthrough tool for software projects. It explains a codebase from the top down like a film, using a narrator to describe the system while diagrams and code are highlighted. Users can pause, open code, click diagram nodes, or ask questions at any time. It supports local git repositories and remote GitHub repositories. The platform includes a web interface, terminal tools, and plugins for OpenCode, Claude Code, and Codex. It uses Node.js and requires API keys for cloud narration or authoring features.
