analyzing-projects
Analyzes codebases to understand structure, tech stack, patterns, and conventions. Use when onboarding to a new project, exploring unfamiliar code, or when asked "how does this work?" or "what's the architecture?
npx skills add CloudAI-X/claude-workflow-v2 --skill analyzing-projects --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Analyzing Projects ### When to Load - **Trigger**: Onboarding to a new project, "how does this work" questions, codebase exploration, understanding unfamiliar code - **Skip**: Already familiar with the project structure and patterns ## Project Analysis Workflow Copy this checklist and track progress: ``` Project Analysis Progress: - [ ] Step 1: Quick overview (README, root files) - [ ] Step 2: Detect tech stack - [ ] Step 3: Map project structure - [ ] Step 4: Identify key patterns - [ ] Step 5: Find development workflow - [ ] Step 6: Generate summary report ``` ## Step 1: Quick Overview ```bash # Check for common project markers ls -la cat README.md 2>/dev/null | head -50 ``` ## Step 2: Tech Stack Detection ### Package Managers & Dependencies - `package.json` → Node.js/JavaScript/TypeScript - `requirements.txt` / `pyproject.toml` / `setup.py` → Python - `go.mod` → Go - `Cargo.toml` → Rust - `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java - `Gemfile` → Ruby ### Frameworks (from dependencies) - React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Nuxt - Express, FastAPI, Django, Flask, Rails - Spring Boot, Gin, Echo ### Infrastructure - `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml` → Containerized - `kubernetes/`, `k8s/` → Kube

What does the analyzing-projects skill do?
Analyzes codebases to understand structure, tech stack, patterns, and conventions. Use when onboarding to a new project, exploring unfamiliar code, or when asked "how does this work?" or "what's the architecture?
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add CloudAI-X/claude-workflow-v2 --skill analyzing-projects --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From CloudAI-X/claude-workflow-v2, a repository with 1,397 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
