Codebase Analysis

Evidence-based investigation → findings → confidence-tracked conclusions.

Steps

1. Gather evidence from multiple sources (code, docs, tests, history)
2. Track confidence level as investigation progresses
3. Based on findings:
   • If pattern analysis needed → load the find-patterns skill
   • If root cause investigation → load the find-root-causes skill
   • If ready to report → load the report-findings skill
4. Deliver findings with confidence level and caveats

<when_to_use>

• Codebase exploration and understanding
• Architecture analysis and mapping
• Pattern extraction and recognition
• Technical research within code
• Performance or security analysis

NOT for: wild guessing, assumptions without evidence, conclusions before investigation
