Iterative Code Exploration
A systematic pattern for progressively exploring and understanding unfamiliar codebases through iterative context refinement.
The Problem
When working with new codebases, you often don't know:
- Which files contain relevant code
- What patterns and conventions exist
- What terminology the project uses
- How components interact
Standard approaches fail:
- Read everything: Time-consuming and overwhelming
- Guess locations: Often misses critical context
- Ask broad questions: Returns too much irrelevant information
The Solution: 4-Phase Iterative Loop
