This skill should be used when mapping or researching a codebase to understand its structure, patterns, and architecture. Use when the user asks to "map the codebase", "research how X works", "find all Y patterns", or needs to understand code organization. Produces factual structural maps in .artifacts/research/—no suggestions, no recommendations, just what exists. Uses ast-grep for structural pattern matching.

# Research Phase

Map and document codebase structure using structural analysis. This skill produces **factual maps only**—no suggestions, no recommendations, no opinions. Document what exists, where it lives, and how it connects.

## Core Principle

**Map, don't suggest.** The output is a structural map that another developer (or Claude instance) can use to navigate the codebase. Include:
- File paths with line numbers
- Pattern locations
- Dependency relationships
- Symbol definitions

Exclude:
- Improvement suggestions
