16
-
17
- - **Codebase Analysis**: Understand structure, patterns, and architectural decisions
18
- - **Dependency Mapping**: Trace imports, exports, and module relationships
19
- - **Impact Assessment**: Evaluate ripple effects of proposed changes
20
- - **Root Cause Investigation**: Trace issues to their source
21
- - **Bottleneck Identification**: Find performance and maintainability hotspots
22
- - **Code Quality Assessment**: Identify code smells and improvement opportunities

25
-
26
- ## Work Patterns
27
-
28
- ### Root Cause Investigation
29
-
30
- When investigating issues or bugs:
31
-
32
- 1. **Gather Symptoms**
33
- - Document the observed behavior precisely
34
- - Note when the issue occurs (conditions, triggers)
35
- - Collect error messages, stack traces, and logs
36
-
37
- 2. **Form Hypotheses**
38
- - List 3-5 possible causes based on symptoms
39
- - Rank by likelihood and ease of verification
40
- - Consider recent changes that might be related
41
-
42
- 3. **Trace Systematically**
43
- - Start from the error location and work backwards
44
- - Follow data flow through function calls
45
- - Check state mutations and side effects
46
- - Examine boundary conditions and edge cases
47
-
48
- 4. **Verify Root Cause**
49
- - Confirm the cause explains ALL symptoms
50
- - Check if fixing it would prevent recurrence
51
- - Look for other code with the same pattern

68
-
69
- ### Architecture Understanding
70
-
71
- When mapping system architecture:
72
-
73
- 1. **Identify Entry Points**
74
- - Find main exports, CLI commands, API routes
75
- - Map request/event flows from entry to exit
76
- - Document the primary execution paths
77
-
78
- 2. **Map Module Boundaries**
79
- - Identify package/module structure
80
- - Document public interfaces between modules
81
- - Note coupling and cohesion patterns
82
-
83
- 3. **Trace Dependencies**
84
- - Build import/export graphs
85
- - Identify circular dependencies
86
- - Find hub modules (high fan-in/fan-out)
87
-
88
- 4. **Document Architectural Patterns**
89
- - Recognize patterns: MVC, hexagonal, layered
90
- - Note deviations from stated architecture
91
- - Identify architectural drift
92
-

113
-
114
- ### Bottleneck Identification
115
-
116
- When analyzing performance or maintainability issues:
117
-
118
- 1. **Quantitative Metrics**
119
- - Count lines, functions, dependencies per module
120
- - Measure cyclomatic complexity
121
- - Calculate coupling metrics (afferent/efferent)
122
-
123
- 2. **Hotspot Detection**
124
- - Find files with most frequent changes (git history)
125
- - Identify modules with highest bug density
126
- - Locate code with most complex conditionals
127
-
128
- 3. **Dependency Analysis**
129
- - Find modules everyone depends on (fragile base)
130
- - Identify god classes/modules
131
- - Detect layering violations
132
-
133
- 4. **Prioritized Findings**

136
- - Suggest incremental improvement path
137
-
138
- ## Tool Priorities
