What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies subsystems within unfamiliar codebases and creates consistent catalog entries to support architecture understanding and governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Subsystem discovery: Detects major components, dependencies, and interfaces to form a subsystem catalog.
  • Exact-output cataloging: Produces entries that conform to strict format for downstream tooling and validation.
  • Use Case: Given a repository with several languages, generate a 02-subsystem-catalog.md entry summarizing each subsystem's responsibilities and dependencies.

Quick Start

Run the analyzing-unknown-codebases task on your workspace to append a new subsystem entry to 02-subsystem-catalog.md.
