SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyses the codebase to surface architecture, dependencies and duplications, helping teams reduce onboarding time and technical debt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stepwise repository structure evaluation to understand modules, boundaries and layering.
  • Dependency and tooling review to catalog libraries and potential upgrade risks.
  • Duplication and quality checks to identify dead code and repetitive patterns.
  • Use Case: When starting a new project or auditing an existing one, run the analysis to gain a clear map of the system.

Quick Start

Run the codebase-analysis skill on the target repository to generate a comprehensive structure, dependencies and duplication report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze codebase architecture and find dead code in a repository?

You can analyze codebase architecture and detect dead code by running a stepwise evaluation skill that inspects repository structure, dependencies, and duplications to output a comprehensive quality report.

What is the best way to map dependencies and technical debt in a monorepo?

Mapping dependencies and technical debt in a monorepo requires a repository analysis tool that catalogs libraries, checks for upgrade risks, and identifies repetitive patterns across backend and frontend code.

Can I inspect duplications and layering in both backend and frontend code?

Yes, you can inspect duplications and layering across backend and frontend code using language-agnostic checks that evaluate module boundaries and surface repetitive patterns throughout the entire system.

How does a stepwise repository structure evaluation work for onboarding?

A stepwise repository structure evaluation works by applying a 12-step inspection process to map modules, boundaries, and dependencies, helping new team members understand the system architecture quickly.

Does codebase quality inspection support language-agnostic checks for infrastructure code?

Yes, codebase quality inspection supports language-agnostic checks that cover infrastructure code alongside backend and frontend layers to detect dead code and structural issues across the entire repository.
