Does this skill analyze what the code actually does?

No, this skill is designed to be a documentarian rather than an analyst. It identifies where code exists and how it is organized without critiquing the implementation or logic.

Can this skill help me find configuration and test files?

Yes, it specifically categorizes files into implementation, tests, configuration, type definitions, and documentation for a complete project overview.

Why should I use this before starting a new feature?

Using this skill helps you understand the existing architecture and naming conventions, ensuring your new code is placed in the correct directory and follows project standards.

Which programming languages does the Navigator support?

It is language-agnostic but includes specialized search patterns for common ecosystems like JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Go.

Developer Tools

Locates and categorizes files within complex codebases to provide a structured map of features, tests, and configurations.

The Codebase Navigator skill serves as a specialized directory for your repository, helping you instantly find where specific logic resides without needing to manually crawl through directories. By leveraging advanced grep and glob patterns across diverse language environments like TypeScript, Python, and Go, it identifies and groups files by their functional purpose—such as core implementation, test suites, or configuration files. This skill is essential for developers onboarding to unfamiliar projects or those needing a comprehensive audit of a feature's footprint before beginning a refactor or new implementation.
