System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Understand current codebase state to ground planning and design decisions in reality, not assumptions. Find existing patterns to follow ("How do we currently handle API errors?"), locate features or code ("Where is user authentication implemented?"), understand component architecture ("How does the routing system work?"), and confirm existence definitively ("Does feature X exist or not?").

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ground planning decisions by mapping current codebase state to design assumptions.
  • Verify design assumptions before implementation and locate existing patterns to follow.
  • Confirm existence of features or components with definitive evidence and exact paths.
  • Apply a structured investigation workflow to verify file locations, patterns, and dependencies.

Quick Start

Use the investigating-a-codebase skill to ground planning decisions with real codebase evidence.
