SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill maps a codebase's structure, conventions, and architecture into a centralized codebase-knowledge artifact that can be consumed by future sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase mapping: discovers modules, directory structure, and conventions to speed onboarding.
  • Memory integration: persists findings into the workspace memory for later retrieval during planning and development tasks.
  • Use Case: A new team member can ask the agent to "understand the project structure" and receive a structured codebase map.

Quick Start

Start the skill to generate a codebase map and ingest it into the project memory.

Frequently Asked Questions about explore-codebase

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map codebase architecture for new project onboarding?▼

Mapping codebase architecture for onboarding is done by analyzing directory structure, modules, and conventions, then storing the findings in a centralized knowledge file for future sessions to ingest.

Can I memorize codebase structure into workspace memory for future sessions?▼

Yes, you can memorize codebase structure by generating a codebase-knowledge.md file saved in workspace memory, allowing future sessions to automatically load project context during development.

What's the best way to capture codebase conventions and module structure for a team?▼

Capturing codebase conventions and module structure is best handled by generating a centralized codebase map artifact that documents architecture and conventions, then persists it into workspace memory for team retrieval.

Does generating a codebase map require any external dependencies or components?▼

Generating a codebase map requires no external dependencies or components, as the skill runs standalone to analyze project files and output a knowledge markdown file directly into workspace memory.

How to do an architectural review using a codebase knowledge file?▼

An architectural review using a codebase knowledge file involves triggering the skill to map existing modules and conventions, then consulting the generated knowledge artifact to assess structure and identify architectural patterns.

When should I not use automated codebase mapping for project documentation?▼

Automated codebase mapping may not suit projects with heavily obfuscated code or dynamic runtime architectures that cannot be statically analyzed from directory structures and file conventions alone.
