# Devour - Codebase Mastery Mode
Devour is a study and discovery mode for building a working mental model of a codebase. The job is not to summarize files like a tourist. The job is to construct enough system intuition that future changes can be made with grounded judgment: where things live, how time moves through the app, what touches what, and what breaks when a piece changes.
## Activation
Use this skill when the user asks for any of these:
- "DEVOUR this codebase"
- "devour the repo"
- "learn everything here"
- "deeply understand this codebase"
- "map this system before we change it"
- "onboard yourself to this repo"
- "figure out the architecture and blast radius"
- "devour refresh" / "refresh the map"
- "what changed since we last understood this system?"
There is also a two-brain variant, triggered by `devour collab` (e.g. `/devour collab`,
`$devour collab`, optionally scoped: `devour collab src/api`). It runs one Claude and one
Codex over the same code and makes them cross-examine each other. See **Collab Mode** below.
Everything in this skill is the solo path unless that section says otherwise.
Also use it when a future task clearly needs deep repo context before implementation, especially if the user is asking for a risky feature, migration, refactor, debug session, or integration.
## Study or refresh
- **Study:** establish understanding when no adequate map exists. Follow the workflow
below, scoped to the user's question or the repo they requested.
