# Scantool - File Structure Explorer

> Use this tool when you need to navigate large codebases efficiently and identify key elements within files and directories. It solves problems of code discovery and refactoring by providing a compact overview and search functionality for specific structures like tests, async methods, or dataclasses. The Scantool accepts codebases as input and outputs a visual map of the code structure, making it ideal for use with git-managed projects.
