Explaining Scientific Code, Assisted by Large Language Models
Understanding an unfamiliar codebase is a recurring challenge in scientific computing. In a blog article, CERFACS introduces WalkingPrompt: a workflow for code explanation assisted by language models that systematically traverses a repository, links dependencies, and generates structured summaries across modules and directories. By keeping the human developer in control, WalkingPrompt reduces repetitive effort, produces more consistent explanations, and creates a coherent first layer of documentation for large scientific codes, while addressing key concerns such as trust, privacy, and reproducibility.
