SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Onboard an existing project by analyzing a codebase and extracting its vision, architecture, and techstack into context files. This approach saves time and ensures consistency when joining or documenting an established codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project discovery and documentation: Analyze the repository to extract the project vision, high-level architecture, and technology choices into structured context files.
  • Onboarding-ready context generation: Create .context/ files that summarize findings for new team members or audits.
  • Monorepo and multi-repo support: Detect patterns across multiple packages and standardize context across the workspace.

Quick Start

Run the onboarding workflow on the target repository to generate the .context files with vision, architecture, and techstack.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract architecture and techstack information from an existing codebase?

To extract architecture and techstack information from an existing codebase, this Skill analyzes repository structure and key artifacts like package.json and README files to generate structured .context files summarizing the project vision and technology choices.

What is the best way to onboard new team members to an established codebase?

The best way to onboard new team members to an established codebase is generating structured .context files that document the project vision, high-level architecture, and technology stack, ensuring consistent understanding without manual exploration.

Can I use this codebase exploration tool with monorepo setups?

Yes, you can use this codebase exploration tool with monorepo setups. It detects patterns across multiple packages and standardizes the generated context files across the entire workspace.

How do I document a project's vision and architecture automatically?

To document a project's vision and architecture automatically, run the onboarding workflow on the target repository. It leverages an Explore subagent to examine structure and identify key artifacts, outputting comprehensive context files.

What key artifacts does codebase onboarding look for during repository analysis?

During repository analysis, codebase onboarding looks for key artifacts such as package.json, README files, and configuration files to accurately extract the project vision, architecture, and techstack data.

Does generating context files require any specific dependencies or external components?

Generating context files requires no specific dependencies or external components. The Skill operates independently to analyze the codebase structure and output the .context files for project documentation.
