SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps engineers build a shared mental model of unfamiliar codebases, systems, or problems by guiding structured exploration and documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-guided exploration: Orient, map entry points, and identify key modules.
  • System understanding & onboarding: Quickly understand architecture, data flow, and dependencies for new codebases or unfamiliar systems.
  • Documentation artifacts: Produce concise maps of entry points, core modules, and risk hotspots to accelerate onboarding.

Quick Start

Begin by surveying the project structure to identify entry points, then iteratively map core modules and typical user flows to build a working mental model.

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand an unfamiliar codebase quickly for onboarding?

To understand an unfamiliar codebase quickly for onboarding, use structured exploration to map entry points, identify core modules, and trace data flow. This builds a precise mental model of architecture and dependencies without reading every file.

What is the best way to map entry points and module interactions in a new project?

The best way to map entry points and module interactions is through phase-oriented discovery. Survey the project structure first, then iteratively map core modules and typical user flows to document architecture.

How do I document architecture and risk hotspots during codebase investigation?

During codebase investigation, document architecture and risk hotspots by generating concise artifact maps. These document findings by highlighting entry points, core modules, and areas of risk to accelerate team onboarding.

Can I use structured exploration to assess risk in unfamiliar systems?

Yes, you can use structured exploration to assess risk in unfamiliar systems. By mapping data flow and identifying hotspots during phase-oriented discovery, you can highlight areas of risk for assessment.

Do I need any specific dependencies to map data flow and architecture?

No specific dependencies are required to map data flow and architecture. The process relies on guiding structured exploration of the existing project structure to build a working mental model.
