Based on SOC occupation classification
Analyze system design — structure, coupling, code smells, and high-risk hotspots. Purely graph-based, no code reads.
Root cause analysis — trace execution path to a failure, narrow candidates, read minimal source only at suspected failure points.
Generate narrative-first, importance-weighted documentation for a repo, system, or subsystem with a selective reference layer. Use --full for deeper module/class/method coverage.
Change risk analysis — blast radius, affected systems, and what to test. Depth scales with risk level; low-risk targets stop early.
Deep dive into a symbol, feature, or bug. Graph-first, minimal code reads, early stopping when sufficient evidence found.
Generate a risk-ordered implementation plan for a set of targets. Assesses blast radius per target, finds data flows between them, and produces a safe change sequence.

This skill routes the user to the best Ix entry point and then stops.
You must not:
ix commandsIf $ARGUMENTS is empty, return this menu:
ix-understand <target> — architectural mental modelix-investigate <symbol> — deep dive on one symbol or featureix-impact <target> — blast radius before editingix-plan <targets...> — risk-ordered multi-file change planix-debug <symptom> — root-cause analysis for bugsix-architecture [scope] — design health and structural smellsix-docs <target> — onboarding or reference documentationix commands — direct lookups like ix locate <symbol> --format llmIf $ARGUMENTS is non-empty, classify the request and recommend exactly one best starting point:
ix-understand <target>ix-investigate <target>ix-impact <target>ix-plan <targets or change description>ix-debug <symptom>ix-architecture <scope>ix-docs <target>ix locate <symbol> --format llmix text "<term>" --limit 10 --format llmix callers <symbol> --limit 15 --format llmix callees <symbol> --limit 15 --format llmix inventory --kind file --path <path> --format llmReturn exactly this block and nothing else:
Best start: <one sentence describing the recommended entry point>
Run: <exact copy-paste skill invocation or ix command>
Why: <one short sentence>
If the request is ambiguous, make the safest routing choice and say which placeholder to replace.
