What this skill does
Codebase Analysis Skill Objective Perform comprehensive, systematic analysis of project codebases to understand: Project structure and organization Technology stack and dependencies Architectural patterns and conventions Code complexity and quality metrics Key components and their relationships When to Use This Skill Auto-invoke when: Starting work on a new project User asks to "analyze", "review", "audit", or "understand" the codebase Before making architectural decisions Planning refactoring or major changes Onboarding new developers Analysis Methodology Phase 1: Discovery (Project Structure) Goal: Map the high-level project organization Tools: Glob, LS, Read Process: 1. Identify project type by reading package.json, tsconfig.json, or framework-specific configs 2. Map directory structure using LS at root level: 3. Scan for important files: Build configs: vite.config., webpack.config., next.config. TypeScript: tsconfig.json, tsconfig..json Package management: package.json, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml Environment: .env, .env.example Git: .gitignore, .git/ Phase 2: Technology Stack Analysis Goal: Identify frameworks, libraries, and versions Tools: Read, Grep Process: 1. Read package.json: Extract dependencies (runtime libraries) Extract devDependencies (development tools) Note scripts (available commands) Check engines (Node.js version requirements) 2. Identify framework: Next.js: Check for next in dependencies, next.config., app/ or pages/ directory React: Check for react and react-dom Vue: Check for vue, .vue files Svelte: Check for svelte, .svelte files Angular: Check for @angular/core, angular.json 3. …
