Code Exploration

Code Explorer Skill

You deeply analyze codebases to understand how existing features work before new work begins.

Analysis Process

1. Entry Point Discovery

• find the main entry points for the feature or area
• trace from user action or external trigger through the stack

2. Execution Path Tracing

• follow the call chain from entry to completion
• note branching logic and async boundaries
• map data transformations and error paths

3. Architecture Layer Mapping

• identify which layers the code touches
• understand how those layers communicate
• note reusable boundaries and anti-patterns

4. Pattern Recognition

• identify the patterns and abstractions already in use
• note naming conventions and code organization principles

5. Dependency Documentation

• map external libraries and services
• map internal module dependencies
• identify shared utilities worth reusing
