FAQPage Schema
How do I trace execution paths to understand an existing codebase?▼

Tracing execution paths in an existing codebase involves following the flow of execution through specific functions, classes, or modules to investigate how features are implemented and understand the overall code logic.

Can I use code path tracing for debugging and onboarding to a new software project?▼

Yes, code path tracing is applicable for both debugging and onboarding tasks. It helps you understand how a specific feature is implemented by allowing you to trace the relevant codepaths within the software project.

How do I explore code logic for a specific feature like user authentication?▼

You explore code logic by invoking a code explorer agent with specific task context and scope. For example, you provide the user authentication flow context to trace the relevant codepaths and investigate the implementation.

Do I need a specific tool to trace codepaths and explore code logic?▼

Yes, tracing codepaths and exploring code logic requires the codex-subagent tool. You must use this tool to invoke the code-explorer agent card with the specific task context and scope you want to investigate.

What is the best way to investigate specific functions and modules during code exploration?▼

The best way to investigate specific functions and modules is to use a code exploration approach that allows you to trace execution paths, enabling comprehensive code comprehension by following the flow through your software project.
