SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps software teams quickly understand a codebase's architecture, patterns, dependencies and development workflow to accelerate planning and onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

Codebase discovery: map directory structure, identify modules, and surface architectural decisions.
Dependency & workflow insights: trace dependencies and typical development workflows across the repository.
Use Case: when starting a new project, generate a high-level architecture overview and dependency map to inform design decisions.

Quick Start

Run the analyze-codebase skill to perform a full repository analysis or focus on a specific path, feature, or component.

FAQPage Schema

How do I analyze a codebase to understand its architecture and module boundaries?▼

To analyze a codebase for architecture and module boundaries, this Skill reads repository structure, configuration files, and discovery instructions to map directory layouts and surface architectural decisions, generating actionable insights to guide architecture planning and onboarding.

What is the best way to map codebase dependencies across a full repository?▼

Mapping codebase dependencies across a full repository is handled by applying a script-driven methodology that traces relationships and typical development workflows. This approach reveals dependency relationships and module boundaries to accelerate team onboarding and design decisions.

Can I focus a codebase analysis on a specific path or component instead of the whole repository?▼

Yes, you can focus codebase analysis on a specific path, feature, or component instead of running full repository analysis. This targeted exploration reveals module boundaries and architectural decisions for the selected area to guide focused design decisions.

Do I need any external dependencies to run a repository analysis for architecture insights?▼

No external dependencies are required to run repository analysis for architecture insights. The Skill operates independently using a script-driven methodology that reads existing repository structure and configuration files to generate the architectural overview.

When do I need to perform a deep codebase analysis for architecture mapping?▼

You need to perform deep codebase analysis for architecture mapping when starting a new project, accelerating onboarding, or making design decisions. It reveals architecture, patterns, dependencies, and development workflows to inform planning and reduce ramp-up time.
