FAQPage Schema

How do I identify recurring coding patterns across a codebase?▼

To identify recurring coding patterns, provide a focus topic to start an observation session that scans directories and surfaces structured insights. It collects evidence and records findings to an observations log for future reference.

What is the best way to onboard to a new codebase area?▼

The best way to onboard to a new codebase area is to run focused observation sessions targeting specific file patterns. This surfaces how routines are implemented and records the evidence needed for structured learning.

How do I document how routines are implemented across directories?▼

You document routines across directories by running observation sessions that collect evidence based on a focus topic. Findings are recorded to an observations log, providing structured insights for onboarding and future learning.

Can I quickly check pattern consistency across a codebase?▼

You can quickly check pattern consistency using quick-mode checks. This rapidly surfaces pattern deviations for fast iteration without needing a full observation session.

Do I need any dependencies to analyze codebase patterns?▼

You do not need any dependencies to analyze codebase patterns. The skill operates independently to collect evidence and surface structured insights from your directories.
