FAQPage Schema

How do I understand a codebase file or directory structure in one call?▼

Code understanding extracts comprehensive details including language, symbols with locations, imports/exports, callers, callees, dependencies, git history, and complexity metrics from files or directories in a single operation, enabling rapid onboarding and impact analysis.

What information does code analysis return about symbols and their relationships?▼

Symbol analysis returns signatures, usage patterns, related symbols, and call graphs showing how functions or classes connect within the codebase, plus recent git changes and complexity scores for refactoring planning.

Can I get git history and recent changes alongside code structure analysis?▼

Yes, code understanding integrates git history into its output, delivering recent commits, change frequency, and modification context for files or symbols alongside structural and dependency information.

How does this help with onboarding and refactoring planning?▼

Comprehensive code metrics, entry points, key dependencies, and change history reduce time to understand unfamiliar code, while call graphs and complexity scores pinpoint high-risk areas and refactoring candidates.

Does this work with large files or ambiguous symbol names?▼

The Skill includes smart handling for large symbols and resolves ambiguous names within scope context, returning accurate structure and relationships even for complex codebases.
