Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Invoke IMMEDIATELY via python script when user requests codebase understanding, architecture comprehension, or repository orientation. Do NOT explore first - the script orchestrates exploration.Key capabilities
- →Analyzes repository structure
- →Identifies dependency flows
- →Documents architectural decisions
- →Provides context for refactoring or bug-fixing
How it works
The skill triggers a python script that orchestrates the exploration of the codebase to build foundational comprehension.
Inputs & outputs
When to use codebase-analysis
- →Orienting to a new codebase
- →Understanding project architecture
- →Identifying code patterns
About this skill
Codebase Analysis
Understanding-focused skill that builds foundational comprehension of codebase structure, patterns, flows, decisions, and context. Serves as foundation for downstream analysis skills (problem-analysis, refactor, etc.).
When this skill activates, IMMEDIATELY invoke the script. The script IS the workflow.
Invoke:
<invoke working-dir=".claude/skills/scripts" cmd="python3 -m skills.codebase_analysis.analyze --step 1" />When not to use it
- →When the user is not requesting repository orientation or architecture comprehension
Limitations
- →Must be invoked immediately via the specified python script
How it compares
This skill uses an automated script to orchestrate repository exploration immediately rather than requiring manual investigation.
