What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a deep understanding of a codebase's structure, layers, data storage, and conventions, allowing users to quickly grasp the overall design and architecture.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Overview: Maps the entire codebase or a specific subsystem across three lenses (layering, data, conventions).
- Scalable Scopes: Supports whole repository, path/glob for a subsystem, or tracing a single execution path.
- Read-only: Never modifies code and writes documentation only on explicit confirmation.
- Use Case: Ideal for onboarding new team members, understanding complex subsystems, or writing an architecture document.
Quick Start
Run the 'describe-codebase' skill on the entire repository or a specific path: describe-codebase /path/to/subsystem.
