To initialize codebase discovery, you run a scan that detects the programming languages present and identifies the root directories to scan, creating a context.yaml file that stores the project's discovery context for downstream processing.

A context.yaml file stores the project's discovery context, including detected languages and key directories, preparing the system for subsequent discovery scans and ensuring workflows have the necessary project environment data.

You should run codebase discovery at the start of a new project or after major repository changes to accurately detect project types, languages, and key directories before performing subsequent discovery scans.

To prepare a repository for subsequent discovery scans, you initialize a discovery process that detects languages, identifies root directories, and generates a work/discovery/context.yaml file to store the project context.

Codebase discovery does not require any external dependencies to detect languages and identify root directories, operating independently to generate the initial project context file for your repository.
