exploring-codebases is a Codebase mapping & onboarding skill for AI agents, published by oaustegard in the claude-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates exploring-codebases D (66/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
First-encounter codebase orientation. Chains tree-sitting (structural inventory) and featuring (feature synthesis) into an EDA workflow for unfamiliar repositories. Use when someone says "explore this repo", "what does this do", "I just cloned this", "help me understand this codebase", or when starting work on an unfamiliar repository. This is the divergent "what's here?" skill — for targeted "where is X?" queries, use searching-codebases instead.
