Can it analyze large repositories efficiently?

Yes, although very large codebases may take 5 to 10 minutes for Gemini to fully index and process the architectural structure.

Does it respect my local .gitignore settings?

Yes, Gemini respects .gitignore patterns and will not read or analyze files that are excluded from your version control system.

Why does this skill require a sandbox bypass?

It requires setting dangerouslyDisableSandbox to true because the codebase_investigator tool needs direct access to the local file system to map dependencies and file relationships.

Does this skill modify my source code during analysis?

No, the skill is explicitly configured to respond with analysis only and is instructed not to make any changes to your project files.

How do I perform a deep dive on a specific module?

You can use iterative sessions by piping follow-up questions into the gemini command, allowing you to ask specific questions about patterns found in previous analysis steps.

Herramientas para Desarrolladores

Analyzes project architecture, dependencies, and technical debt using Gemini's codebase_investigator tool.

Acerca de

This skill leverages Gemini's specialized codebase_investigator to provide deep insights into unfamiliar repositories, mapping component relationships and uncovering hidden dependencies without altering the source code. It is ideal for developers onboarding to legacy systems, performing architectural audits, or identifying areas of technical debt and inconsistent coding patterns through high-level structural overviews.

Características Principales

Support for multi-turn iterative investigation within the same session
Identification of technical debt, complex chains, and deprecated patterns
Interactive flow mapping for critical logic like authentication and data paths
31 GitHub stars
Deep architectural mapping and component relationship analysis
Comprehensive dependency tracking for direct and transitive packages

Casos de Uso

Performing a comprehensive architectural audit before starting a major refactor
Auditing project dependencies for circular references and bundle size impact
Rapidly onboarding to a large or legacy codebase to understand its structure
