Codebase Context Gather comprehensive architectural context about an internal system by searching code and documentation across the organization. Determine the system name from the user's request. If not specified, ask before proceeding. Core Principles Breadth before depth: Find all relevant pieces before diving deep Docs + code: Both tell important parts of the story Be skeptical: Not every search result is relevant context Freshness matters: Stale docs can mislead Process Phase 1: Find the Code Search for the system's codebase across all repositories: Look for: Main entry points and core modules API definitions (REST, gRPC, GraphQL) Key data structures and models Phase 2: Find the Documentation Search for architecture and design docs: Phase 3: Identify Key Contributors Find who's actively working on this system: Cross-reference with employeesearch for contact info.
