.claude/skills/codebase-overview/# Codebase Overview ## When to Use Trigger this skill when the user: - Asks about project structure or architecture - Is new to a codebase and needs orientation - Wants to understand tech stack or patterns used - Asks "what is this project about" - Asks "how is this organized" ## Instructions 1. Run `/sourceatlas:overview` to analyze the codebase 2. This scans <5% of high-entropy files (configs, READMEs, models) 3. Returns project fingerprint, architecture hypotheses, and AI collaboration level ## What User Gets - Project type and scale - Tech stack identification - Architecture patterns with confidence levels - Code quality signals - Recommended next steps ## Example Triggers - "I just joined this project, where do I start?" - "What's the architecture of this codebase?" - "Give me an overview of this project" - "What tech stack does this use?"
