SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly assess a codebase by focusing on a single area to surface actionable insights without running full-scale scans.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Focused area scanning: limit analysis to a specific part of a project to speed up feedback.
  • Targeted reports: generate concise documents under .planning/codebase/.
  • Use Case: during sprint planning, scan a module to identify hotspots and risk signals.

Quick Start

Run a focused codebase scan for a single area and emit targeted documents in .planning/codebase/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan a focused area of my codebase for rapid risk assessment?

To scan a focused area of your codebase, use the optional --focus parameter to limit analysis to a specific module and quickly surface risk signals without running a full-scale scan.

What is the best way to generate targeted documents for sprint planning?

The best way to generate targeted documents for sprint planning is to run a lightweight scan on a module to identify hotspots, which automatically emits concise reports under the .planning/codebase/ directory.

Can I run a codebase scan without external dependencies?

Yes, you can run a codebase scan without external dependencies because this lightweight workflow operates independently to perform mapper-style scans and generate targeted documents in your project.

Does focused codebase scanning work for medium-sized projects?

Yes, focused codebase scanning is explicitly applicable to medium-sized codebases that require rapid risk assessment and module-level insights using a lightweight workflow.

When should I avoid running a full codebase scan and use a focused scan instead?

You should use a focused scan instead of a full codebase scan when you need to speed up feedback during sprint planning by quickly surfacing actionable insights for a single area without full-scale analysis.
