Code Reading

Strategic Reading Protocol

1. Entry Points First

Start where execution begins. Never read alphabetically.

# Find entry points
grep -r "app.run\|app.listen\|@app.route\|def main\|if __name__" --include="*.py" --include="*.js"

Read order: Main entry -> route definitions -> request handlers -> business logic -> data layer -> utilities

2. Data Flow Tracing

Follow: INPUT -> VALIDATION -> PROCESSING -> STORAGE -> OUTPUT
