System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly understand what a specific symbol (function, feature, or bug candidate) is and how it fits into your codebase, without getting lost in large files or excessive searching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Graph-first investigation: Locates and explains the target using Ix graph data before considering any code reads.
  • Evidence-driven execution flow: Produces connections (callers/callees) and a trace when needed, then stops once the execution path is clear.
  • Minimal and bounded source reading: Falls back to a single targeted read only if earlier phases can’t resolve the remaining question.
  • Optional Pro design context: Can include relevant recorded decisions affecting the symbol when Ix Pro is available.
  • Optional saving of results: Supports a save mode that writes the final investigation output to a chosen (or auto-generated) markdown path.

Quick Start

Ask: ix-investigate --save bug-foo.md "how does FooHandler work?" to generate a bounded, graph-based investigation and save the report.
