Before Code Analysis
STOP: You're about to read multiple files to understand how something works.
Use codebase-analyzer Instead
The codebase-analyzer agent is specifically designed for understanding code implementation. It will read files in context and explain how systems work.
Instead of:
Read(file_path="src/auth/handler.js")
Read(file_path="src/auth/service.js")
Read(file_path="src/auth/middleware.js")
[manually piecing together how auth works]
Do this:
Task(
subagent_type="codebase-analyzer",
prompt="Analyze how the authentication system works, including handlers, services, and middleware",
description="Analyze auth system"
)
When Manual Reading Is OK
Only read files manually when:
- You need to see exact implementation of a single function
- You're making specific edits to known files
- You're verifying a specific detail
For understanding systems or flows, use codebase-analyzer.
