Before you use it

Input
An explicitly authorized codebase-discovery task, the repository boundary and an optional focus such as architecture or testing.
Expected output
The source specifies seven documents covering stack, structure, architecture, conventions, integrations, testing and concerns, with file evidence and unresolved questions.
Prerequisites
The source declares Python 3.8+, Git and a scan helper. That helper, referenced templates and checkpoints were not read in this review; their behavior, coverage and output effects remain unverified. Do not provide secrets or permit a broad scan merely to fix one file.

Client setup and runtime behavior are not verified here; client installation is not individually established. The use notes below describe source preparation, inputs and limits.

Publisher documentation, static file observations and environment tests are different kinds of evidence. Runtime behavior has not been observed.

Use this method

Source-based preparation, not an installation or a completed run. Nothing is executed here.

Good fit for
Studying or preparing an explicit repository onboarding and documentation task with a controlled scope.
Not for / limits
Not a prerequisite for every bug fix or a verified scanner. Helper bodies and supporting tree remain unreviewed; cross-platform support and scan coverage are publisher statements, not runtime observations.
Prepare
Decide whether repository-wide discovery is really the task and define the allowed files, exclusions and output locations before using the instructions.
Apply
Read the referenced scan code, templates and inquiry checkpoints yourself before approving a run; they are outside this review's inspected files.
Check
Check each resulting claim against its file evidence and preserve unknowns and questions about team intent. Review differences between stated design and observed implementation.
Sources read for this note

These exact files were read as text at the displayed commit. Other files and external tools were not reviewed. A repository LICENSE observation does not confirm Skill-specific applicability or dependency rights.

Study the method

Study how declared project intent is compared with file evidence and how focus mode preserves unknowns outside its scope. The instruction's seven-document target is not proof those documents were generated or validated.

File and folder counts are unknown, not zero.

The supporting file list has not been read for this source. Open the source directory to inspect it.

Zero files in scripts/ does not mean no execution, network access or file writes. Markdown and other folders may describe or contain executable behavior.
