acquire-codebase-knowledge
This skill is for Coding and helps you map a codebase, document codebase architecture, and onboard to a repository.
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.

- Map a codebase
- Document codebase architecture
- Onboard to a repository

- Understand repository structure
