Build an evidence-backed working model of an existing codebase. Use when you must orient in a large or unfamiliar repository; explain architecture or a subsystem; trace a request, runtime, control, or data flow for a concrete question or bug; analyze a branch, commit, diff, or pull request for behavioral impact and blast radius; or assess AI-generated or changed code against requirements, contracts, invariants, tests, and runtime evidence. Default to read-only investigation. Do not trigger only…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'investigate-codebase' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'investigate-codebase' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named investigate-codebase already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Data-System-School/agent-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'a117418ab3596c59d641cab4cb89bdbe560fb277' -- 'investigate-codebase' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'investigate-codebase' ~/.agents/skills/'investigate-codebase' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'investigate-codebase' ~/.claude/skills/'investigate-codebase' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
