| name | source-analysis-to-book |
| description | Analyze a complex code repository and turn the findings into reusable evidence notes, chapter plans, and long-form technical writing artifacts. Use when working on repository analysis, architecture deep dives, codebase-to-book projects, evidence mapping, chapter planning, or continuous writing workflows that need status, handoff, and continuation support. |
source-analysis-to-book
Use this skill to convert a codebase understanding task into a durable analysis-and-writing workflow.
Core Workflow
Use the workflow in references/workflow.md.
Default Output Set
Use the output model in references/output-model.md.
Writing Rules
Use the writing constraints in references/writing-rules.md.
Anti-Patterns
Avoid:
- flat module-by-module explanation
- generic observations without source-backed tension or tradeoff
- writing chapters before building an evidence base
- losing continuity because status and handoff documents are missing
