Acquire Codebase Knowledge
Produces seven populated documents in docs/codebase/ covering everything needed to work effectively on the project. Only document what is verifiable from files or terminal output — never infer or assume.
Output Contract (Required)
Before finishing, all of the following must be true:
- Exactly these files exist in
docs/codebase/:STACK.md,STRUCTURE.md,ARCHITECTURE.md,CONVENTIONS.md,INTEGRATIONS.md,TESTING.md,CONCERNS.md. - Every claim is traceable to source files, config, or terminal output.
- Unknowns are marked as
[TODO]; intent-dependent decisions are marked[ASK USER]. - Every document includes a short "evidence" list with concrete file paths.
- Final response includes numbered
[ASK USER]questions and intent-vs-reality divergences.
