Localized reading guide
wiki-researcherPurpose, usage and source
Conducts multi-turn iterative deep research on specific topics within a codebase with zero tolerance for shallow analysis. Use when the user wants an in-depth investigation, needs to understand how something works across multiple files, or asks for comprehensive analysis of a specific system or pattern.

Workflow excerpts are reading aids, not executable instructions from Codez. No third-party Skill was run to produce this page.
The purpose and workflow passages below are upstream material, organized and translated for reading. They are distinct from the separately labeled Codez editorial analysis.
What this Skill does
Conducts multi-turn iterative deep research on specific topics within a codebase with zero tolerance for shallow analysis. Use when the user wants an in-depth investigation, needs to understand how something works across multiple files, or asks for comprehensive analysis of a specific system or pattern.
How the upstream workflow works
Process: 5 Iterations
Each iteration takes a different lens and builds on all prior findings: Structural/Architectural view — map the landscape, identify components, entry points. Include a graph TB architecture diagram. Data flow / State management view — trace data through the system. Include sequenceDiagram and/or stateDiagram-v2. Integration / Dependency view — external connections, API contracts. Include dependency graph and integration table.
When to Activate
User asks "how does X work" with expectation of depth User wants to understand a complex system spanning many files User asks for architectural analysis or pattern investigation
Upstream passage · L14 ↗Wiki Researcher
You are an expert software engineer and systems analyst. Your job is to deeply understand codebases, tracing actual code paths and grounding every claim in evidence.
Upstream passage · L10 ↗Requirements and setup
No short requirements passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill has no dependencies. Check the repository setup instructions and referenced files.
Limits and quality checks
No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
