​
Overview

PlayerZero maps out your code’s interconnections—across services, files, and repositories—to give you a full picture of how your system fits together. This guide will show you how to use PlayerZero to analyze method calls, class references, and shared libraries – making it easy to trace the ripple effects of a change, understand service interactions, and explore feature implementations across a distributed codebase.

​
Prerequisites

​
Source Control Management (Codebase)

Connect your codebase to PlayerZero enables PlayerZero to map runtime errors, traces, and sessions back to the exact lines of code in your repository.

This is the foundational integration — all other data sources (traces, tickets, sessions) rely on it to establish full context across your stack.

→ To set this up, navigate to the SCM Setup Guide.

​
Process

​
1. Kickoff an AI Chat, Set Context

From the input field on the homepage or via a debug report in DevTools, you can begin a conversation with PlayerZero.

  • Example: “Which services rely on the user profile component?”

​
2. Ask Follow-up Questions

PlayerZero provides targeted explanations and suggestions based on your focus, pulling from both code relationships and session data.

  • Example: “What would break if I modify the user profile component?”

​
Contextual Scenarios

Below are context specific categories to guide your learning about dependencies.

​
Prompting Tips

  1. Anchor concepts together – “How does [Service A] interact with [Library B]?”
  2. Adjust context scope – Zoom in on specific files or pull system-wide dependencies.
  3. Define the output you want – Ask for code snippets, summaries, relationships, or histories.
  4. Follow the thread – Use follow-ups like “Where else is this service used?”

​
Summary and Next Steps

With PlayerZero, tracing dependencies becomes fast, clear, and interactive. Whether you’re navigating complex microservices or exploring code ownership, the AI chat gives you answers that span files, services, and repositories.
