SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinates parallel sub-agents to comprehensively research a codebase, enabling thorough discovery even when project structure or documentation is incomplete, and produces a structured research artifact that reflects live findings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel exploration: spawn multiple analysis tasks to cover components, dependencies, and architecture.
  • Cross-repo compatibility: works with projects that lack a standard thoughts directory and centralizes findings into a single artifact.
  • Artifact generation: produces a comprehensive research document with file references and architecture insights.
  • Flexible backends: supports multiple storage backends for long-term knowledge base integration.

Quick Start

Spawn parallel sub-agents to analyze the codebase and generate a structured research artifact.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to document codebase architecture across multiple components?▼

Parallel sub-agents map a codebase by spawning multiple analysis tasks to cover components, dependencies, and architecture. They cross-reference file paths and line references, producing a comprehensive research artifact even when project documentation is incomplete.

How do I generate a structured research artifact with file paths and line references?▼

Yes, parallel agents work with projects that lack a standard thoughts directory or non-standard structures. They centralize findings into a single structured artifact, ensuring comprehensive discovery of dependencies and references regardless of the original project layout.

Does this codebase analysis approach support long-term knowledge base integration?▼

Generating a structured research artifact involves coordinating parallel sub-agents to map the codebase and record exact file paths and line references. The resulting document captures live findings and architecture insights suitable for a living knowledge base.

Why use parallel sub-agents instead of a single agent for codebase research?▼

Yes, this codebase analysis approach supports long-term knowledge base integration through flexible storage backends. It produces a living research artifact that centralizes architecture insights and file references for continuous updates.
