Codebase Research is a specialized skill for Claude Code that enables deterministic, step-by-step exploration of complex repositories. By enforcing the 'Iron Law' of understanding the problem before touching code, it prevents aimless searching and ensures developers have a deep grasp of system dependencies and data flows. The skill utilizes dedicated agents for file discovery and external context gathering, culminating in a structured research document that serves as a single source of truth for implementation planning.
