# Codebase Navigation

Understand how the code works before you start changing it

## What this does

You have landed in a codebase you did not write and need to know how it hangs together. This is about exploring and tracing before touching anything, so changes rest on an actual understanding. Reach for it when you are new to a code base or answering questions about how something works.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Find your way around a codebase you do not know
- Trace how a code path actually runs
- Answer how part of the system works

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Codebase Navigation

This is for exploring an unfamiliar codebase, tracing code paths, or answering questions about how the system works.

The order it insists on: read before writing, and build a mental model of the architecture before making any changes.

## Questions

### Is Codebase Navigation safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Codebase Navigation and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit fc163ba8a12b, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/codebase-navigation.

### How do I install Codebase Navigation?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/codebase-navigation on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/aiming-lab/MetaClaw/tree/fc163ba8a12ba5e6950544c3e0d55707c16e2a7e/memory_data/skills/codebase-navigation. Install from that link, not the branch.
