What problem does it solve?

Onboarding to a new project, planning refactoring, or assessing technical debt in an unfamiliar codebase can be time-consuming and complex. This Skill automates the deep analysis of existing codebases, providing comprehensive reports that accelerate understanding and decision-making for brownfield projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase Analysis: Discovers technology stack, architecture patterns, APIs, and data models.
  • Technical Debt Assessment: Identifies code quality issues, test coverage, complexity hotspots, and outdated dependencies.
  • JIRA Integration: Analyzes backlog, velocity, and sprint readiness (if configured via MCP).
  • Report Generation: Creates detailed reports like project-overview.md, technical-landscape.md, and backlog-analysis.md.
  • Use Case: A new team member can run spec:discover to get a full overview of a microservices project, including its tech stack, API endpoints, and key metrics, within minutes, significantly reducing onboarding time.
