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.

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.
