SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Navigating a large monorepo wastes time and causes misdirection when trying to locate code, determine package ownership, or map cross-package dependencies. This Skill provides a structured, read-only guide to quickly identify package roots, locate sources, and understand import relationships without running code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read-only exploration across a multi-package layout to locate package roots, source files, and key configs.
  • Cross-package tracing to map imports and dependencies without executing any code.
  • Pattern-based discovery to quickly identify common project structures and target relevant packages for a given task.
  • Use Case: When you need to find which package owns a symbol or assess how a change propagates across packages.

Quick Start

Locate the path to a symbol or package in the ozbys-node-pubsub monorepo using this guide.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map cross-package dependencies and imports in a monorepo?

You can map cross-package dependencies and imports in a monorepo using read-only exploration to trace how packages depend on each other and locate package boundaries without executing code.

What is the best way to find which package owns a specific symbol in a monorepo?

The best way to find which package owns a symbol in a monorepo is to use structured, read-only discovery to identify package roots and source files, accurately locating code ownership.

How do I trace how changes ripple across packages in a multi-package layout?

You trace how changes ripple across packages in a multi-package layout by mapping import relationships and package boundaries, allowing you to assess the propagation impact without running code.

Can I explore a monorepo to locate source files and key configs without executing code?

Yes, you can explore a monorepo to locate source files and key configs without executing code by using read-only navigation to identify package roots and map the repository structure.

Does monorepo navigation work for pattern-based discovery of common project structures?

Yes, monorepo navigation works for pattern-based discovery by quickly identifying common project structures and targeting relevant packages for a given task through read-only cross-package tracing.

When should I not use read-only monorepo navigation?

You should not use read-only monorepo navigation when you need to execute code, run tests, or modify files, as this approach is strictly limited to discovery, tracing, and pattern-based exploration.
