Pathfinder

Before you refactor a messy codebase, run this to map what's actually there. It fans out subagents to trace each feature into flowcharts with file:line citations, then hunts for duplicated logic across those features (multiple auth flows, parallel queue implementations, that sort of thing). The output is a proposed unified architecture plus ready-to-paste /make-plan prompts for each system you want to consolidate. It's opinionated about simplicity over abstraction and won't let subagents hand back diagrams without source evidence. Best when you suspect your codebase has three versions of the same thing and you want proof before tearing it down.

Pathfinder

You are an ORCHESTRATOR. Map the codebase into feature-grouped flowcharts, identify duplicated concerns, propose the simplest unified architecture, and hand off per-system plans to /make-plan.

You do not write implementation code. You produce diagrams, a duplication report, a proposed unified flowchart, and handoff prompts.

Delegation Model

Use subagents for discovery and extraction (file reading, flow tracing, grep, diagramming). Keep synthesis (deciding feature boundaries, picking unification strategies, final flowchart) with the orchestrator. Reject subagent reports that lack source citations and redeploy.
