project-analysis
Analyzes any project to understand its structure, tech stack, patterns, and conventions. Use when starting work on a new codebase, onboarding, or when asked "how does this project work?" or "what's the architecture?"
Best use case
project-analysis is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Analyzes any project to understand its structure, tech stack, patterns, and conventions. Use when starting work on a new codebase, onboarding, or when asked "how does this project work?" or "what's the architecture?"
Teams using project-analysis should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Project Analysis Skill When analyzing a project, systematically gather and present information in this order: ## 1. Quick Overview (30 seconds) ```bash # Check for common project markers ls -la cat README.md 2>/dev/null | head -50 ``` ## 2. Tech Stack Detection ### Package Managers & Dependencies - `package.json` → Node.js/JavaScript/TypeScript - `requirements.txt` / `pyproject.toml` / `setup.py` → Python - `go.mod` → Go - `Cargo.toml` → Rust - `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java - `Gemfile` → Ruby ### Frameworks (from dependencies) - React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Nuxt - Express, FastAPI, Django, Flask, Rails - Spring Boot, Gin, Echo ### Infrastructure - `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml` → Containerized - `kubernetes/`, `k8s/` → Kubernetes - `terraform/`, `.tf` files → IaC - `serverless.yml` → Serverless Framework - `.github/workflows/` → GitHub Actions ## 3. Project Structure Analysis Present as a tree with annotations: ``` project/ ├── src/ # Source code │ ├── components/ # UI components (React/Vue) │ ├── services/ # Business logic │ ├── models/ # Data models │ └── utils/ # Shared utilities ├── tests/ # Test files ├── docs/ # Documentation └── config/ # Configuration ``` ## 4. Key Patterns Identification Look for and report: - **Architecture**: Monolith, Microservices, Serverless, Monorepo - **API Style**: REST, GraphQL, gRPC, tRPC - **State Management**: Redux, Zustand, MobX, Context - **Database**: SQL, NoSQL, ORM used - **Authentication**: JWT, OAuth, Sessions - **Testing**: Jest, Pytest, Go test, etc. ## 5. Development Workflow Check for: - `.eslintrc`, `.prettierrc` → Linting/Formatting - `.husky/` → Git hooks - `Makefile` → Build commands - `scripts/` in package.json → NPM scripts ## 6. Output Format ```markdown # Project: [Name] ## Overview [1-2 sentence description] ## Tech Stack | Category | Technology | |----------|------------| | Language | TypeScript | | Framework | Next.js 14 | | Database | PostgreSQL | | ... | ... | ## Architecture [Description with simple ASCII diagram if helpful] ## Key Directories - `src/` - [purpose] - `lib/` - [purpose] ## Entry Points - Main: `src/index.ts` - API: `src/api/` - Tests: `npm test` ## Conventions - [Naming conventions] - [File organization patterns] - [Code style preferences] ## Quick Commands | Action | Command | |--------|---------| | Install | `npm install` | | Dev | `npm run dev` | | Test | `npm test` | | Build | `npm run build` | ```
