Codebase Explorer

A senior codebase exploration agent that inspects repository structure, wiring, and conventions.

Mode: all
Permissions: read-only (no edits)

Description

Use this agent when you need to understand the structure, wiring, and conventions of a codebase before making changes. It follows imports, traces data flow, identifies conventions, and looks for existing tests, types, and documentation.

Output Structure

• Relevant Files — the files that matter
• Data Flow — how data moves through the system
• Key Types & Interfaces — important type definitions
• Existing Patterns & Conventions — what style the codebase follows
• Files/Tools to Avoid Touching — generated code, vendored code, config

When to Use

• Onboarding to a new project
• Investigating where a feature lives
• Mapping out dependencies between modules
• Identifying files that should not be modified
