# Show HN: Stewie Reflect – owner's manuals for repos, with claims linked to code > Source: > Published: 2026-06-24 14:22:26+00:00 # The owner's manual your codebase never came with. You own software you can't fully read — AI helped you build it, or you inherited it, and somewhere along the way you lost the full picture. Stewie Reflect reads one snapshot of your repository and writes an **Owner's Manual**: what the code actually does, what deserves your attention, where the evidence ends, and which decisions only you can make. In private beta · built in the open ### Truth, with receipts Every important claim is tied to evidence from your code. When the manual isn't sure, it says so — explicitly, with labeled evidence boundaries instead of confident guesses. ### Attention, ranked by consequence Risks and conflicts come as cards that say what happens, why it matters, and when to look again. The sample manual surfaces **2 critical findings** and **17 owner decisions** in one place. ### Written for owners No code reading required. Plain-language models and figures explain your product, while explicit source boundaries show where the reviewed evidence ends. ## 01 Sound familiar? "I vibe-coded my whole product with AI. It works… I think. I honestly couldn't tell you what happens when a payment fails." "My developer left. I own the code now — I just can't read it, and I don't know what I don't know." "Before I invest more in this codebase, I want an honest second opinion on what's actually in there." That gap between *owning* software and *understanding* it is exactly what an Owner's Manual closes. ## 02 See a real one We won't ask you to trust a marketing page. This is the complete reviewed manual for a real production accounting application — 7 chapters, every figure and attention card included, labeled as sample content throughout. It is the format and quality target we hold generated manuals to: customer manuals must pass automated quality checks before delivery, and depth varies with each repository's available evidence. ### Owner's Manual for an AI bookkeeping app 7 generated chapters from the reviewed repository snapshot A real generated manual — produced by our engine from one snapshot of a real AI bookkeeping app · 7 chapters · 17 attention items [Open the sample manual](/manual) ## 03 How it works - Connect GitHub **read-only**— only the repositories you choose. - Pick one repository and branch; we pin the exact commit. - Free repository check, then we generate your full Owner's Manual — free. - Read a free preview: one complete chapter plus every finding, so you can judge it on your own code. - Unlock the full manual and Markdown export for $19 beta price — only if it's worth it. ## 04 Pricing [Start free](/app/new) "Beta price" is our current early-access price: you pay once per repository to unlock it — no subscription, no recurring charge.
