About this skill
What it does. Searches the codebase for task-related files, traces direct imports and exports, finds relevant tests and identifies similar patterns. It produces a context map of files to modify, dependencies, test coverage, reference patterns and potential risks.
When to use it. Before implementing code changes, to review the relevant parts of a codebase and agree on the scope before proceeding.
