explore-codebase

Skill3 starsChanged 31 days agoMITView on GitHub

Use when arriving at an unfamiliar codebase, or an unfamiliar region of a known one, and the question is "what is here and how is it arranged" rather than "where is this specific thing". Trigger phrases: "help me understand this repo", "what does this project do", "where does X live", "walk me through the architecture", "I'm new to this codebase", "what are the main modules". Not for tracing one symptom to its cause — that is `debug-issue`; not for judging a diff — that is `review-changes`. Reach for this one when orienting, and switch to those once you know where to look.

SKILL.md

This is the generic copy. If this project has been scaffolded, prefer the unprefixed explore-codebase skill: it is .ai-badger/skills/explore-codebase/SKILL.md, and it has this project's extensions and any project-local.md merged in. This copy has neither.

The full procedure is in SKILL.full.md beside this file, unchanged — read it if the project has no .ai-badger/, or run welcome-ai-badger to scaffold one.
