analyze

name: analyze description: Analyze codebase for context understanding. Use when starting work on a new codebase or exploring unfamiliar code.

Analyze the codebase to build working context. Focus on what's needed to effectively contribute.

Analysis Framework

1. Architecture Overview

• Project structure and organization pattern
• Entry points and main execution flow
• Key directories and their responsibilities

2. Tech Stack & Dependencies

• Languages, frameworks, and major libraries
• Build system and tooling
• External services or APIs

3. Code Conventions

• Naming patterns (files, functions, variables)
• Code organization style
• Error handling approach
• Testing patterns if present

4. Key Abstractions

• Core data structures and models
• Important interfaces or base classes
• Shared utilities and helpers

5. Working Notes

• Non-obvious gotchas or quirks
• Areas of complexity to be aware of
• Implicit assumptions in the code

Output Format

Use concise bullet points. Prioritize actionable insights over exhaustive documentation. Structure output so it can be quickly scanned when returning to the codebase later.
