User-invoked surgical codebase inspection. Invoke when the user says 'how does this project implement X', 'find how Y works in this codebase', 'what patterns does this repo use', 'inspect this codebase for Z', 'trace the call chain of', or 'analyze the architecture of this project'. Also invoke proactively when entering an unfamiliar repository — if .inspect/ exists, read it directly; if not, offer to run repo-inspect. This skill uses a Rust binary (scripts/repo-inspect) to surgically extract relevant code instead of dumping the entire repo. The binary runs locally, respecting .gitignore, with zero API calls. Output is written to .inspect/ (gitignored). Do NOT invoke for general code review (use code-review skill), documentation generation (use project-init), or TDD (use test-driven-development).
