name	codebase-overview
description	Quickly understand a new codebase's architecture, tech stack, and patterns. Use when user asks "what is this project", "project overview", "how is this codebase structured", "what tech stack", or when onboarding to a new codebase.

Codebase Overview

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?"
