By name: codebase-overview description: Quickly understand a new codebase's architecture, tech stack, and patterns. Use when user asks "what is this project", "project overview", "how is this codebase structured", "what tech stack", or when onboarding to a new codebase.
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
- Run
/sourceatlas:overviewto analyze the codebase - This scans <5% of high-entropy files (configs, READMEs, models)
- 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?"
