SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autonomous two-phase codebase exploration - first discovers natural perspectives (layers, components, boundaries), then dispatches adaptive deep-dive explorers based on what was discovered. Synthesizes findings into actionable insights.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase 1 Discovery: identify architecture pattern, major components, layers, and organization principles to form a structural map.
  • Phase 2 Deep Dives: launch targeted explorers per discovered area to collect detailed, file-level evidence and integration points.
  • Phase 3 Synthesis: synthesize findings into a consolidated guide for implementation, debugging, or learning.

Quick Start

Kick off Phase 1 by launching discovery agents to map architecture, components, and layers, then proceed to Phase 2 with adaptive deep-dives based on the findings.

Frequently Asked Questions about marsai:exploring-codebase

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I explore an unfamiliar codebase to understand its architecture?▼

To explore an unfamiliar codebase, this skill autonomously maps architecture patterns, component catalogs, and layer boundaries, then dispatches targeted deep-dive agents to collect file-level evidence for a consolidated structural guide.

What is the best way to map multi-layer system architecture for planning changes?▼

Mapping multi-layer system architecture is best handled by discovering natural perspectives like components and boundaries first, then synthesizing detailed integration points from adaptive deep-dives into an actionable implementation and debugging guide.

Can I use autonomous codebase exploration for debugging across multiple components?▼

Yes, autonomous codebase exploration supports debugging across multiple components by dispatching targeted explorers to collect detailed file-level evidence and integration points, which are synthesized into a consolidated guide for debugging.

Does codebase exploration work without prior knowledge of the component catalog?▼

Codebase exploration works without prior knowledge by autonomously discovering the organization principles and component catalog during its first discovery phase, forming a structural map before proceeding to deeper analysis.
