About this skill

Codebase Inspection gives the assistant the tools to navigate a real codebase: find every caller of a function, trace a prop through a React tree, surface dead files, and answer "where is X defined?" across languages. Think of it as AST-aware grep plus a memory of what you've already explored this session.

What it does

Symbol-aware search (callers, definitions, usages)
Cross-language file map
Dead-code and circular-import detection
Summaries of any directory or file
Remembers explored paths inside a session

Use cases

Find every caller of a deprecated function before deleting it
Onboard to a 300k-line repo by asking for a tour
Trace a bug across a 5-layer middleware stack
