AI Architecture Analysis

This repository is indexed by RepoMind. By analyzing google/eng-practices in our AI interface, you can instantly generate complete architecture diagrams, visualize control flows, and perform automated security audits across the entire codebase.

Our Agentic Context Augmented Generation (Agentic CAG) engine loads full source files into context, avoiding the fragmentation of traditional RAG systems. Ask questions about the architecture, dependencies, or specific features to see it in action.

Google Engineering Practices Documentation

Google has many generalized engineering practices that cover all languages and all projects. These documents represent our collective experience of various best practices that we have developed over time. It is possible that open source projects or other organizations would benefit from this knowledge, so we work to make it available publicly when possible.

Currently this contains the following documents:

Terminology

There is some Google-internal terminology used in some of these documents, which we clarify here for external readers:

  • CL: Stands for "changelist", which means one self-contained change that has been submitted to version control or which is undergoing code review. Other organizations often call this a "change", "patch", or "pull-request".
  • LGTM: Means "Looks Good to Me". It is what a code reviewer says when approving a CL.
