Your codebase, explained in seven source-backed docs.

What it does

Creates seven evidence-backed documents that explain an existing codebase's stack, structure, architecture, conventions, integrations, testing, and concerns.

When to use it

Use when the user explicitly requests codebase mapping, architecture documentation, or repository onboarding, not for routine implementation or narrow edits.

How to use it

Give it an existing codebase; it creates seven documentation files in docs/codebase/ and reports findings and unresolved questions.
