semantic-codebase

What problem does it solve?

This Skill equips developers with powerful patterns and commands to quickly understand, navigate, and build a mental model of any codebase. It reduces onboarding time, improves efficiency during refactoring, and helps identify critical dependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Discovery Patterns: Guides on exploring project structure, identifying module boundaries, and locating configuration files using tree and fd.
• Dependency Analysis: Techniques for tracing import graphs, type dependencies, and function call graphs to understand how components interact.
• Semantic Search: Commands to find code by behavior, pattern, or domain using ripgrep and ast-grep, allowing targeted exploration of the codebase.
• Use Case: A new developer joins a project and needs to quickly understand how a specific feature works. They can use this skill to map out the project structure, trace dependencies of key modules, and semantically search for relevant functions and types, accelerating their ramp-up.

Quick Start

Analyze the 'src/services/auth.ts' file to identify its exports, imports, and all functions that call 'authenticateUser'.
