strategic-codebase-navigation

What problem does it solve?

Navigate unfamiliar codebases to identify where changes should be made, understand how features work end-to-end, and plan migrations or large refactors.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Strategy 1: Logic Bubble Isolation — isolate the boundary between entry and exit points to make targeted changes without needing full system context.
• Strategy 2: Boundary & Registration Tracing — map module connections, contracts, and lifecycle to understand how the system is wired.
• Strategy 3: Clone & Mutate — reuse existing structures to add similar functionality with minimal boilerplate.
• Strategy 4: Metadata & Module Auditing — document dependencies, leaf vs core modules, and migration risks to plan safe refactors.
• Use Case: onboarding to a new codebase, performing a targeted bug fix, or planning a large refactor or migration.

Quick Start

Describe a straightforward task: provide a high-level navigation plan and identify the entry, exit, and registration points.
