SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When codebases and directories exceed Claude's context limits, this Skill makes it possible to analyze project-wide architecture, verify implementations, and check patterns using Google Gemini's massive context window.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project-wide analysis: Inspect entire codebases or very large directories.
  • Cross-file comparisons: Compare multiple large files to identify inconsistencies.
  • Pattern and architecture checks: Verify patterns, security measures, and architectural decisions across the codebase.
  • Large-file support: Work with files totaling more than 100KB to ensure full coverage.
  • Use Case: For a monorepo, verify that authentication flows exist consistently across services.

Quick Start

Run a prompt like: gemini -p "@src/ Summarize the architecture of this project".

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a codebase that's too large for standard context limits?

Analyze large codebases using Gemini CLI with the @ syntax to include entire directories and files exceeding 100KB. Run gemini -p "@src/ [your analysis prompt]" to process project-wide architecture, patterns, and security measures beyond typical context constraints.

Can I verify architectural patterns across multiple files in a monorepo?

Yes. Use Gemini CLI to compare and verify patterns across multiple large files and services. The @ syntax lets you inspect entire directory structures simultaneously, enabling cross-file consistency checks like verifying authentication flows exist uniformly across services.

What's the best way to check security implementations across a large project?

Gemini CLI's big context window lets you analyze entire codebases for security measures and patterns in one pass. Include your src directory with @src/ to identify inconsistencies, missing implementations, or deviations from security standards across the full repository.

Do I need to split files to analyze projects larger than 100KB?

No. Gemini CLI handles files and directories totaling more than 100KB without splitting. Use the @ syntax to reference complete projects, enabling unified architecture analysis and pattern verification across your entire codebase in a single query.

How do I compare large files to identify architectural inconsistencies?

Reference multiple large files with @ syntax in a single gemini -p command to compare them directly. Gemini's expanded context processes the complete file set at once, surfacing inconsistencies in implementation patterns and architectural decisions across your project.

What analysis can I run on an entire directory structure at once?

Summarize architecture, identify design patterns, verify feature implementations, and check consistency across the whole project. Gemini CLI processes complete directories via @ syntax, producing insights into project-wide structure, dependencies, and architectural decisions without manual file segmentation.
