Codebase Context

Purpose

Analyze the existing codebase and produce a comprehensive context briefing covering architecture, data model, patterns, and constraints. This output becomes shared context for ALL council agents — it is the foundation every other skill builds on.

Scope Constraints

• Produces read-only analysis; does not modify any project files.
• Covers architecture, data model, conventions, infrastructure, and integrations.
• Does not design new schemas or API contracts — hand off to schema-design or api-design.

Inputs

• Project root directory ($WORKSPACE)
• Any existing CLAUDE.md or project documentation
• Package manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, etc.)
• Configuration files (tsconfig.json, next.config.js, .env.example, etc.)
