SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly understand an unfamiliar repository so you can find the right files, follow local conventions, and choose a safe place to work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repository Mapping: Identify the top-level structure, key directories, and nearby examples relevant to a task.
  • Stack Detection: Infer languages, frameworks, tools, and project conventions from configs, imports, and file layout.
  • Change Planning: Recommend the best entry point for an implementation and suggest likely validation commands.
  • Use Case: You need to add a feature or fix a bug in a new codebase and want a fast, reliable map before editing.

Quick Start

Ask for a concise map of the repository, including the stack, the most relevant paths, and the best place to make your change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I navigate an unfamiliar codebase before making changes?

Codebase navigation involves inspecting directory structures and searching for patterns to identify key files, local conventions, and relevant examples. This orientation process helps you understand the project layout and choose a safe place to work before making changes.

What's the best way to detect a project's stack and frameworks?

The best way to detect a project's stack is by analyzing configurations, imports, and file layout to infer languages and frameworks. This method grounds stack detection in local project conventions and provides an accurate map of the tools used.

How do I find the right files for a bug fix in a new repository?

To find the right files for a bug fix, map the repository structure to identify relevant paths and nearby examples. Use focused directory inspection and pattern search to locate the best entry point for your implementation before editing.

Can I get a map of relevant paths and validation hints for a repository?

Yes, you can generate a concise repository map that includes the stack, relevant paths, and validation hints. This map applies focused directory inspection and pattern search to identify safe implementation paths and likely validation commands.

Does repository orientation work for finding examples before adding a feature?

Yes, repository orientation identifies top-level structure, key directories, and nearby examples relevant to your task. It helps you locate instructions and choose the best entry point for adding a feature safely.

When do I need repository mapping for codebase orientation?

You need repository mapping when you must understand an unfamiliar codebase quickly to find the right files and follow local conventions. It is essential for stack detection, locating examples, and choosing a safe place to work before editing.
