SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers and engineers quickly understand unfamiliar codebases by presenting a structured, graph-based view of architectural components such as functions, classes, routes, and modules, enabling faster orientation and onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structural overview via a knowledge graph (get_graph_schema) to surface node and edge counts.
  • Find code elements and read source with search_graph and get_code_snippet to understand architecture.
  • Scope exploration to specific directories with list_directory and targeted queries.

Quick Start

Index the repository with index_repository and then explore the structure using list_directory and search_graph to locate functions, classes, and routes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I explore an unfamiliar codebase to understand its architecture and modules?

You can explore a codebase by indexing the repository and querying a graph-based schema to reveal its structural layout. This surfaces node and edge counts, enabling architecture understanding, module discovery, and navigation across the codebase.

What is the best way to navigate codebase functions and routes using a knowledge graph?

Navigating codebase functions and routes with a knowledge graph involves searching the graph index for specific elements. You can then retrieve the exact source code snippets to understand the structural layout and relationships across the repository.

Can I scope my codebase exploration to specific directories?

Yes, you can scope codebase exploration to specific directories. By listing directory contents, you can narrow your graph queries and structural searches to focus solely on the modules and code elements within that targeted path.

How do I find specific code elements and read their source in a large repository?

To find specific code elements in a large repository, you search the graph index for functions or classes. Once located, you retrieve the specific code snippet to read the source and understand its structural role within the architecture.

Does exploring a codebase with a graph view require re-indexing the repository?

Yes, exploring a codebase with a graph view requires an initial indexing step to build the structural map. This ensures the navigable graph reflects the current layout and architecture of the repository before you query its elements.
