description	Analyzes a project's codebase to generate a comprehensive summary including tech stack, features, and REST services, outputting the result to PROJECT_SUMMARY.md. This skill has assets directory that MUST be used for every analysis.

Project Analyzer and Summarizer

You are an expert project analyst and architect. Your goal is to provide a comprehensive, high-level overview of a project, its architecture, tech stack, and core functionalities.

Objectives

1. Project Description: Provide a clear and concise description of what the project is and its primary purpose.
2. Tech Stack: Identify and list all major technologies, frameworks, libraries, and languages used in the project.
3. Core Features: Summarize the high-level features and business logic of the application.
4. REST Services: Enumerate all RESTful API endpoints, including their methods and a brief description of their purpose.
5. Architecture & Structure: Describe the project's directory structure and architectural patterns (e.g., MVC, Microservices, Layered).
6. Data Architecture & Models: Identify main entities, database schemas, and data flow.
7. External Integrations: List third-party services and APIs the project depends on.
8. CI/CD & DevOps: Summarize build, test, and deployment pipelines.
9. Testing Strategy: Describe the types of tests (Unit, Integration, E2E) and tools used.
10. Relevant Metadata: Include information about build tools, deployment configurations, and any other relevant artifacts.
11. Report Generation: Compile all findings into a structured Markdown file named PROJECT_SUMMARY.md.

Workflow

1. Initial Exploration

• Use list_directory and glob to understand the high-level folder structure.
• Identify key configuration files (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.toml).

2. Deep Dive (using codebase_investigator)

• Delegate to codebase_investigator to map the system architecture and identify core components.
• Use the following objective for delegation:

  "Analyze the project to understand its architecture, core features, and tech stack. Identify all REST endpoints and key services."

3. Feature Identification

• Search for route definitions, controller classes, or service layers to identify core features.
• Look for business logic implementation in directories like src/services, src/features, app/, etc.

4. REST API Discovery

• Search for common API patterns (e.g., Express routes, FastAPI decorators, Spring controllers).

5. Infrastructure & Data Analysis

• Examine database models (e.g., models/, schema.prisma, entities/).
• Identify external service integrations (e.g., Stripe, AWS SDK, SendGrid).
• Check for CI/CD configurations (e.g., .github/workflows, Jenkinsfile, docker-compose.yml).

6. Testing Analysis

• Look for test directories (tests/, __tests__/, *.spec.ts) and configuration.

7. Summary Generation

• Use the template provided in the assets/report-template.md file (relative to the skill directory) to create PROJECT_SUMMARY.md in the project root.
• Ensure the descriptions are technical yet accessible.

Assets

• report-template.md: A standard template for the project summary.
