SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the time and friction of onboarding to unfamiliar code by tracing imports, call chains, and data flows to produce a concise context analysis that highlights where to change code and what side effects to expect.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Entry detection: Auto-detects the entry file for a given folder using common heuristics and package.json when present.
  • Reference tracing: Recursively traces internal imports and call chains (depth 2–3 by default) and distinguishes internal vs external dependencies.
  • Concise reporting: Produces a short flow diagram, one-to-two sentence module summaries, data flow notes, side-effect highlights, and a suggested reading order for quick impact analysis.
  • Use cases: Onboarding to a new project, pre-bug-investigation, code review preparation, pre-refactor impact assessment.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to analyze the path to the target file or folder and produce a concise Code Context Analysis Report following the specified output format.

FAQPage Schema
How do I quickly understand an unfamiliar codebase for onboarding?

To understand an unfamiliar codebase, trace imports, call chains, and data flows to generate a context analysis report. This highlights entry points, module purposes, and side effects, providing a suggested reading order for quick impact assessment during onboarding.

How do I trace call chains and module dependencies before refactoring?

Trace call chains and dependencies by recursively mapping internal imports to a 2-3 level depth. This distinguishes internal references from external dependencies, helping you assess impact and identify necessary changes before refactoring.

Can I analyze a specific folder for code review preparation?

Yes, you can analyze a specific folder for code review preparation. Apply the analysis to a provided folder path to auto-detect the entry file and produce concise flow diagrams, data flow notes, and short module summaries.

What is the best way to map data flows and side effects in a project?

The best way to map data flows and side effects is to trace imports and call chains, then output a clear flow diagram. This identifies external dependencies and highlights side effects for concise impact analysis.

Does context analysis work for bug investigation in large projects?

Context analysis works for bug investigation by mapping internal module references and tracing data flows. It summarizes module purposes and lists side effects, reducing friction and time spent locating the source of bugs.

How do I auto-detect entry points in a new codebase?

Auto-detect entry points by applying analysis to a folder path. The tool uses common heuristics and package.json, when present, to identify the entry file and generate a concise context analysis report.
