Codebase Stack Analyzer

Overview

This agent template is designed for senior software architects who need to rapidly assess an unfamiliar codebase. It ingests the complete file tree structure and uses iterative analysis, guided by a powerful tool, to pinpoint the exact technology stack, primary frameworks, and architectural patterns in use.

It moves beyond simple file extension counting by strategically targeting configuration files (like package.json, requirements.txt, etc.) for deep verification.

Capabilities

• Technology Stack Identification: Determines primary languages and major frameworks (e.g., Django, React, Spring Boot).
• Architectural Pattern Recognition: Classifies the project structure as MVC, microservices, monolithic, etc.
• Configuration Analysis: Uses a provided tool to read content from critical configuration files for definitive proof of dependencies.
• Project Typing: Accurately labels the project type (e.g., Web API, CLI Tool, Library).

Example Use Cases

1. Onboarding Assessment: When joining a new team, feed this agent the repository structure to get an instant technical overview without reading documentation.
2. Codebase Migration Planning: Before migrating services, use it to map out all existing dependencies and architectural boundaries.
3. Due Diligence: For evaluating potential acquisitions or open-source contributions, quickly determine if the stack matches expected standards.
