SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates and structures the manual, time-consuming process of investigating a repository component by guiding scoping, discovery, analysis, findings, and final report generation so stakeholders receive consistent, traceable knowledge artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Idempotent, stage-based workflow that creates scoped knowledge artifacts (scope, discovery, analysis, findings, report).
  • Respect for scope and depth parameters to target either surface or deep analysis of a codebase component.
  • Integrates with project PCC and bootstrap state to ensure investigations reflect current repository context.
  • Use case: quickly produce a shareable investigation report for an unfamiliar microservice before planning development or risk mitigation.

Quick Start

Run workflow-app-investigation with the quoted app name and optional scope and depth to produce the investigation artifacts and final report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate codebase component investigation and generate a structured report?

Codebase component investigation is automated through a stage-based workflow covering scoping, discovery, analysis, findings, and reporting to produce structured, traceable knowledge artifacts.

What is idempotent stage execution for repository-level app analysis?

Idempotent stage execution ensures that running the investigation workflow multiple times produces consistent knowledge artifacts without duplicating results or corrupting the analysis state.

How do I produce a shareable investigation report for an unfamiliar microservice?

You can produce a shareable investigation report by running the workflow with the app name and optional scope and depth parameters, generating a final report from the analysis stages.

Can I control the depth of analysis when investigating a codebase component?

Yes, the investigation workflow respects scope and depth parameters, allowing you to target either a surface-level overview or a deep analysis of a specific codebase component.

How does codebase analysis integrate with project PCC and bootstrap state?

Codebase analysis integrates with project PCC and bootstrap state to ensure the generated investigation artifacts accurately reflect the current repository context and configuration.

What are the limitations of automated app investigation workflows?

Automated app investigation workflows depend on the provided scope and depth parameters and require integration with project PCC and bootstrap state to accurately reflect the current repository context.
