AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Code tours are interactive, onboarding documentation to guide developers through a codebase. Large Language Models (LLMs) can automatically synthesize code tours. Prior work on code tour generation has not studied developer experience or trust calibration when debugging unfamiliar codebases with code tours...

Understanding how developers use and trust LLM-generated code tours can improve onboarding and debugging efficiency in unfamiliar codebases. Insights from this study can guide the design of better developer tools leveraging open-source LLMs.
