# Learn Codebase

Read the whole project before touching any of it

## What this does

You have just landed in a project you do not know and would rather not learn it one file at a time as you go. This reads every source file in full first. Reach for it at the start of work on a new or unfamiliar codebase, or whenever you want the whole thing read before anything gets changed.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Get up to speed on an unfamiliar project
- Read the codebase before I start
- Prime a project I just cloned

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.

## Questions

### Is Learn Codebase safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Learn Codebase and recorded 0 findings and 2 flagged items. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit bb3dbfdb5ae9, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/learn-codebase.

### How do I install Learn Codebase?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/learn-codebase 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/thedotmack/claude-mem/tree/bb3dbfdb5ae92b55b7e4686e4904995184261232/plugin/skills/learn-codebase. Install from that link, not the branch.
