Summary
Adds a
repo-orientskill for understanding unfamiliar repositories before planning, reviewing, debugging, or editing code.The skill checks for existing repo-map artifacts such as:
docs/ARCHITECTURE_REPORT.mddocs/PROJECT_MAP.mddocs/project_map.jsongraphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.mdgraphify-out/graph.jsonAGENTS.mdCLAUDE.mdThen it produces a grounded orientation report covering architecture, entry points, dependency hubs, feature ownership, risk areas, files to inspect, and recommended next action.
Why
AI coding agents often make poor edits when they start implementation before understanding project structure. This skill creates a consistent pre-edit orientation step that can be used before
investigate,review,qa, orship.Notes
This is a workflow-only skill. It introduces no runtime dependencies and no external API calls.
