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

  1. Run /sourceatlas:overview to analyze the codebase
  2. This scans <5% of high-entropy files (configs, READMEs, models)
  3. 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?"
