project-analysis
A specialist skill that analyses a codebase to understand its structure, dependencies, and architecture. This skill should be used at the start of a new project or when onboarding to an existing codebase.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill project-analysis --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.
# Project Analysis Skill ## Tooling Notes This skill should only use read-only commands and avoid modifying files. ## Analysis Process Copy this checklist and use it to track your progress through the analysis process: ```markdown Project Analysis Checklist - [ ] Gather a quick overview of the project by reading the README.md or equivalent documentation. - [ ] Identify the main programming languages and frameworks used in the codebase. - [ ] Map out the project structure, including key directories and files. - [ ] Analyze dependencies by reviewing package management files (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt). - [ ] Identify core modules and components of the application. - [ ] Understand the data flow and architecture patterns used in the project. - [ ] Review any existing tests to understand the testing strategy and coverage. - [ ] Document any areas of the codebase that may require further investigation or clarification. ``` ## Analysis Commands Here are some useful commands to help you analyze the codebase: ```bash # List the main files and directories in the project ls -R # Check for package management files to identify dependencies ls | grep -E 'package\.json|requirements\.t

List the main files and directories in the project ls -R Check for package management files to identify dependencies ls | grep -E 'package\.json|requirements\.txt|Pipfile|Gemfile' Display the contents of a package management file cat package.json cat requirements.txt Search for key architecture patterns or components grep -r 'MVC\|Microservices\|Singleton\|Factory' . Identify test files and directories
What does the project-analysis skill do?
A specialist skill that analyses a codebase to understand its structure, dependencies, and architecture. This skill should be used at the start of a new project or when onboarding to an existing codebase.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill project-analysis --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
