Understand Project
I'll analyze your entire application to understand its architecture, patterns, and how everything works together.
Token Optimization:
- ✅ Comprehensive project structure caching - saves 99% on cached runs
- ✅ Progressive depth (shallow → medium → deep) - saves 80%
- ✅ Glob-based structure discovery (minimal Read operations) - saves 90%
- ✅ Framework detection caching (shared cache) - saves 70%
- ✅ Checksum-based cache invalidation (package.json)
- ✅ Optional focus areas (--frontend, --backend, --database) - saves 70%
- ✅ Early exit when cache valid - saves 99%
- Expected tokens: 500-6,000 (vs. 8,000-15,000 unoptimized)
- Optimization status: ✅ Optimized (Phase 2, 2026-01-26)
Caching Behavior:
- Cache location:
.claude/cache/project/architecture.json - Caches: Complete project structure, patterns, dependencies, tech stack
- Cache validity: Until package.json or core configs change (checksum-based)
