overview-exploration

To map a codebase structure at session start, use deterministic heuristics to detect project type, directory layout, and common entry points without spawning agents, generating a lightweight summary for orientation.

The best way to get a project overview without agents is running a rapid exploration process that applies deterministic heuristics to identify project type and directory layout across multiple languages.

To orient yourself in a new codebase before planning tasks, execute a rapid overview exploration to collect key signals like structure, entry points, and patterns for framing subsequent targeted exploration.

Yes, codebase exploration works across multiple languages by using deterministic heuristics to map directory layouts and identify common entry points regardless of the specific programming language used.

You should not use deterministic heuristics for project exploration when you need deep, targeted analysis rather than a rapid, lightweight summary of project structure and hotspots at session start.

Yes, you can use overview exploration to detect project type and directory layout by aggregating key structural signals to establish a high-level understanding of the repository quickly.
