About this skill
What it does. Explores a full codebase or selected feature with file search and reading, maps modules, entry points, configuration, request paths and data flows, then documents observed behaviour as EARS requirements. It records code locations, security and error-handling patterns, inferred acceptance criteria, recommendations and unresolved questions.
When to use it. For legacy or undocumented systems, onboarding, feature planning or extracting requirements from implementation. It requires evidence from the code and does not replace missing facts with assumptions.
