Skill bakerstreetco/skills/repo-intake

Inspect an unfamiliar repository and produce a concise engineering orientation. Use when asked to understand a codebase, summarize repo structure, find entry points, identify commands, map tests/docs, or explain where to start before making changes.From its SKILL.md

One thing to look at

  • 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Repo Intake

Use this skill for the first pass through an unfamiliar repository. Prefer direct evidence from files, package metadata, command output, tests, and docs over inference.

Workflow

  1. Identify the repository root, branch, remotes, and worktree state.
  2. Read local instructions such as AGENTS.md, README*, CONTRIBUTING*, and package metadata.
  3. Map the stack: languages, frameworks, package managers, build tools, and runtime requirements.
  4. Locate entry points: CLIs, servers, apps, libraries, jobs, scripts, public exports, and config files.
  5. Locate verification paths: tests, lint, typecheck, build, smoke commands, CI workflows, and fixtures.
  6. Locate docs and examples, then note whether they appear current.
  7. Identify likely risk areas: generated files, migrations, auth, env vars, network dependencies, release files, and large shared modules.

Useful Commands

git status --short --branch
git remote -v
rg --files -g 'AGENTS.md' -g 'README*' -g 'CONTRIBUTING*' -g 'package.json' -g 'pyproject.toml' -g 'Cargo.toml' -g 'go.mod'
find . -maxdepth 3 -type f | sed 's#^./##' | sort | head -200

Adapt commands to the repo and avoid expensive scans when a faster rg --files view is enough.

Output

Return a concise orientation with:

  • Project type and stack.
  • Main entry points.
  • Important directories.
  • Commands to build, test, lint, and run.
  • Documentation and instruction files.
  • Open questions or risks.
  • Recommended next files to inspect for the requested task.
