Understanding a codebase involves mapping its structure, patterns, and dependencies systematically. This Skill guides you through phased exploration—documenting project layout, key components, and external context—then produces a `codebase.md` reference artifact so you have a solid foundation before designing or implementing features.
Combine codebase exploration with external research to gather current best practices and tools relevant to your project. This Skill coordinates both phases and synthesizes findings into `research.md`, giving you context on patterns and tools the project uses or should consider.
After exploring structure, patterns, and dependencies, commit structured documentation artifacts: `codebase.md` captures your project understanding and `research.md` documents external findings. These become reference materials for your team and future work.
Yes. Codebase exploration is designed specifically for onboarding scenarios, new feature planning, and research phases. It works with phased investigation and supports delegating deep dives to subagents when you need specialized analysis.
Map the project structure, identify existing patterns and dependencies, and research relevant best practices. This exploration phase, documented in `codebase.md` and `research.md`, ensures your new features align with the project's architecture and current industry practices.
Yes. The Skill supports external research alongside codebase analysis, enabling you to gather patterns and best practices from multiple sources and synthesize them into a research artifact that informs your design decisions.
