Presentation introducing how PlantUML works together with GitHub Copilot to visualize codebases and reduce context switching challenges when onboarding new projects. 4–5 slides. Slide 1: The Problem — Developers face context-switch fatigue when joining new projects; large codebases are hard to understand; documentation is missing or outdated. Slide 2: The Idea — Combine PlantUML and Copilot to automatically generate up-to-date diagrams from code, keeping architecture visualization in sync. Slide 3: How It Works — Copilot suggests PlantUML syntax from code; PlantUML renders diagrams in real time; example of class and dependency diagram. Slide 4: Benefits — Faster code comprehension, fewer context switches, improved onboarding, and self-updating documentation. Slide 5: Future Vision — Integration with IDEs, auto sequence diagrams, natural language explanations via Copilot.
Introduces using PlantUML with GitHub Copilot to auto-generate diagrams from code, solving context-switch fatigue in onboarding. Covers problem, workflow, benefits like faster comprehension, and futur
The slide "The Problem" outlines key challenges in software projects: context-switch fatigue when joining new ones. It also highlights difficulties understanding large codebases and missing or outdated documentation.
The idea integrates PlantUML with GitHub Copilot to auto-generate diagrams directly from source code. This keeps architecture visuals up-to-date, syncs them effortlessly with the codebase, and eliminates manual updates.

Copilot analyzes selected code to generate PlantUML syntax, which is pasted into a PlantUML editor or VS Code extension for real-time diagram rendering. Users then review the interactive class or dependency diagrams to quickly understand codebase structure without manual diagramming.

This "Benefits" slide features a grid highlighting four key advantages of visual diagrams: faster code comprehension, fewer context switches to reduce mental fatigue, and improved onboarding for new developers. It also emphasizes self-updating documentation that automatically evolves with code changes.
