Originally built in 2022, I have Cat-Dog Classification TFLite Flutter project served as an experiment in mobile machine learning. This project was recently revisited to evaluate how PocketFlow-Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge can assist in documenting and explaining the workflow more effectively.
π¦ Why Use PocketFlow-Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge
PocketFlow-Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge is an AI-powered tool that automatically generates documentation, tutorials, and diagrams by analyzing any codebase. Manual documentation, especially for older projects, can be time-consuming. This tool was tested to determine its effectiveness in handling the Cat-Dog classifier and streamlining the documentation process.
π How It Was Used
1οΈβ£ Cloning the Tool
Begin with the π Getting Started section at PocketFlow GitHub. An error related to the model was encountered, requiring an update in utils/call_llm.py:
# model = os.getenv("GEMINI_MODEL", "gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25")
model = os.getenv("GEMINI_MODEL", "gemini-2.0-flash")
Run the following command to verify model compatibility:
python utils/call_llm.py
2οΈβ£ Running the Tool
To generate documentation, the repository path must be provided. The tool will scan and analyze the project codebase. Example:
python main.py --repo https://github.com/malebolgia/Cat-Dog-Classification-tensor-flow-lite-flutter
Generated documentation will appear in the output/ directory.
π Process Overview
A simple flow of how PocketFlow-Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge works:
πΆπ± Output Summary
PocketFlow-Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge generated the following:
- A project overview
- Setup instructions (including Windows batch file)
- Model creation details
- Code structure explanations and diagrams
The generated content serves as a solid starting point and can be refined as needed to match the projectβs narrative.
π‘ Tips for Effective Use
- Always review and customize the generated content.
- Use Mermaid diagrams to clarify structure and flow.
- Re-run the tool after major updates with your app to maintain up-to-date documentation.
π Conclusion
PocketFlow-Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge simplifies the task of documenting machine learning projects. Whether revisiting an older project or seeking to automate technical documentation, this tool provides an efficient and intelligent starting point.
