SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Answering questions about a large codebase requires reading many files, tracing connections, and understanding architectural decisions, which is slow and error-prone when done manually. This Skill automates comprehensive codebase research by decomposing questions, spawning parallel sub-agents, and synthesizing findings into a documented artifact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Parallel Sub-Agent Research: Spawns 2-4 concurrent Explore and general-purpose agents to investigate different aspects of a question simultaneously. - Scope Clarification: Uses structured questions to align on research depth, focus areas, and output format before investigating. - Structured Research Documents: Generates a research.md file with YAML frontmatter, code references with file:line citations, architecture insights, and historical context from prior changes. - Use Case: Ask how authentication works in your project, and receive a comprehensive document tracing the auth flow across components with specific code references and links to past architectural decisions. ## Quick Start Invoke the skill and ask a research question such as how the API endpoints connect to the Supabase authentication layer.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a large codebase efficiently?

Decompose your question into focused research areas and spawn parallel sub-agents to investigate each concurrently. This Skill coordinates 2-4 agents, waits for all results, then synthesizes findings with specific file:line references into a single document.

How to trace how a feature works across multiple files?

Provide the feature name as your research query and the skill will use Explore agents for fast file and pattern searches plus general-purpose agents for deep multi-file analysis. Findings are connected across components with concrete code references.

Can I control the depth of codebase research?

Yes, the skill asks clarifying questions about scope, depth, and focus before spawning agents. You can choose a quick overview of key files or a detailed architectural analysis with edge cases and historical context.

Where are research results saved?

Research documents are written to context/changes/<change-id>/research.md with YAML frontmatter including date, git commit, branch, and topic. Follow-up questions append new sections to the same document with updated timestamps.

Does codebase research include past architectural decisions?

Yes, the skill reads context/changes and context/archive directories as supplementary historical context alongside live code analysis. Prior research documents and decision records are cited in a dedicated Historical Context section.
