SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Repowise-equipped teams often struggle to quickly grasp large codebases and architectural decisions. This skill provides guided, context-rich exploration using MCP tools to surface architecture, module maps, ownership, and decisions before reading raw source files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture overview: Generate a high-level map of modules, interfaces, and dependencies.
  • Module discovery: Locate where a feature is implemented and identify responsible owners.
  • Contextual reasoning: Retrieve documentation, history, and architectural decisions to inform analysis.

Quick Start

Start by calling get_overview() to fetch the architecture summary and module map before exploring specific files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand a large codebase architecture without reading every source file?

To understand codebase architecture without reading every file, generate a high-level module map using indexed data. This surfaces module relationships, interfaces, and dependencies to provide context-rich guidance before you explore specific source files.

What is the best way to locate where a feature is implemented in a complex codebase?

The best way to locate feature implementation in a complex codebase is to use guided module discovery. It analyzes indexed codebases to identify responsible owners and pinpoint exactly where specific features are implemented across modules.

Can I get an architecture overview and module map for a codebase indexed by Repowise?

Yes, you can get an architecture overview and module map for a codebase indexed by Repowise. Call get_overview() to fetch the architecture summary and module map before exploring specific files.

How do I trace module relationships and dependencies before modifying source code?

To trace module relationships and dependencies before modifying source code, retrieve contextual reasoning and dependency paths. This reveals architectural decisions and module interactions to inform your analysis.

Does codebase exploration work with MCP tools to reveal code ownership and context?

Yes, codebase exploration works with MCP tools to reveal code ownership and context. It orchestrates tools like get_overview, search_codebase, get_context, and get_dependency_path to return structured guidance.
