SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

An automated approach to capture a complete, multi-perspective snapshot of a codebase, enabling smooth handoffs to new developers or teams by detailing architecture, components, and context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Agent Analysis: Launches four code-explorer agents (architecture, features, development context, UI/UX) to gather diverse findings.
  • Contextual Readthrough: Reads existing PRDs, checkpoints, RFDs, and references to build a coherent context for the snapshot.
  • Snapshot Output: Writes the detailed snapshot to .claude/checkpoints/checkpoint-N/snapshot.md with auto-incremented checkpoint numbers for traceability.

Quick Start

Run the snapshot skill against your project directory to generate the next checkpoint snapshot.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a codebase snapshot for developer handoff?

Generate a codebase snapshot by running a multi-agent process that analyzes architecture, features, development context, and UI/UX to produce a comprehensive handoff document at .claude/checkpoints/checkpoint-N/snapshot.md.

What is multi-agent codebase analysis for project checkpoints?

Multi-agent codebase analysis is a process where four code-explorer agents independently gather findings on architecture, features, context, and UI/UX to compile a complete project checkpoint snapshot for review.

Do I need existing PRDs and RFDs to create a project snapshot?

Yes, creating a project snapshot requires existing PRDs, RFDs, checkpoints, and references in the project root to build coherent context and ensure the multi-agent analysis has necessary foundational documentation.

How does automated codebase checkpointing handle traceability?

Automated codebase checkpointing handles traceability by auto-incrementing checkpoint numbers and saving detailed multi-agent snapshots to the .claude/checkpoints/checkpoint-{N}/ directory structure.

What's the best way to document architecture and UI/UX context together?

The best way to document architecture and UI/UX context together is using a multi-agent snapshot tool that reads project references and outputs a unified, fully-detailed markdown snapshot for new developers.

Can I use automated snapshot generation for projects without existing checkpoints?

No, automated snapshot generation is designed for projects with existing PRDs, RFDs, checkpoints, and references, requiring this foundational documentation to build a coherent context for the multi-agent analysis.
