# /explore-codebase [path or project name]
Structured onboarding for unfamiliar codebases. Produces a concise architecture summary.
## Usage
```
/explore-codebase # explore current directory
/explore-codebase /path/to/project
/explore-codebase MyProject # named project (searches known paths)
```
## Exploration Sequence
### 1. Project Overview (~2 min)
The commands below assume a Unix shell (Linux/macOS, or Git Bash on Windows).
On native Windows shells, substitute `dir` for `ls -la` and `type` /
`Get-Content` for `cat`; `git`, `head`, and the rest behave the same.
```bash
ls -la # root structure (Windows: `dir` or PowerShell `Get-ChildItem`)
cat README.md | head -80 # stated purpose (Windows: `Get-Content README.md -TotalCount 80`)
cat pyproject.toml | head -40 # or package.json / Cargo.toml
git log --oneline -10 # recent activity (cross-platform via git)
git shortlog -sn --no-merges | head -5 # main contributors
```
### 2. Directory Structure
Map the top-level directories:
- Where is the entry point? (main.py, app.py, index.ts, src/)
- Where are tests?
- Where is configuration?
- Any generated code or build artifacts?
### 3. Architecture Patterns
**Check KG first** (fastest if project is known):
```
search_knowledge_graph("project architecture [name]")
search_code_graph("main entry point", collection="CodeModule")
```
**Then read**:
- Entry point file (first 50
