This article outlines a four-step process for developers to quickly onboard to new codebases using AI coding assistants like Claude Code. The method focuses on systematically understanding the code's structure, architecture, testing strategies, and local execution. By leveraging AI, developers can significantly reduce the time spent deciphering unfamiliar code, a benefit particularly valuable for those who frequently switch between projects. AI
