Codebase Analysis

When you need to understand a new codebase or get oriented in an unfamiliar repository, this skill immediately kicks off a Python orchestration script that systematically explores the structure, patterns, and architectural decisions for you. Instead of manually poking around files, it automates the discovery process through a multi-step workflow. The interesting bit is that it's designed as a foundation layer, meant to feed into other analysis skills like problem solving or refactoring rather than being an end in itself. It's opinionated about not exploring first, the script handles that part, so you invoke it right away and let it build the map for you.
