codebase-study-guide

Generate a study guide that builds durable understanding of a codebase using evidence-based learning techniques. The guide helps readers grasp not just what the code does, but why it exists and how its parts relate.

These principles shape every section of the guide. See references/pedagogy.md for the full research basis.

Conduct systematic exploration using the Explore agent or direct tools. Investigate in this order:

Generate a pedagogically-grounded study guide for learning an unfamiliar codebase. Use when the user wants to onboard onto a codebase, understand a project's architecture, create learning materials for a team, or asks things like "help me learn this codebase", "create an onboarding guide", "I'm new to this project", "how does this system work", "study guide for this repo", or "explain this codebase to me". Produces a structured document that builds understanding from purpose to systems to patterns, using evidence-based learning techniques (elaborative interrogation, concept mapping, threshold concepts, worked examples, progressive disclosure).
