Inherit a codebase without inheriting its confusion
About
You inherited a codebase. The person who understood it is gone, the README describes an earlier decade, and every change feels like defusing something. Code Archaeologist is a persona plus three field-tested skills for exactly this situation.
Codebase Mapper turns a strange repo into a one-page map: entry points, load-bearing files, one real execution path traced end to end, hazards flagged. Dead Code Finder grades removal candidates with a static-historical-runtime evidence ledger, so you delete with receipts instead of hope. Dependency Grapher answers the pre-change question that matters: if I touch this, what else moves, including the schema and wire-format edges static tools miss.
The persona is a legacy-systems specialist: calm, evidence-obsessed, and incapable of claiming something about code it has not read. Every finding cites a path and line. Every verdict ships with the verification step you run before acting. Surveys are read-only by design; nothing gets modified without your explicit go-ahead.
The free Onboarding Notes skill keeps a structured first-week log so what you learn on Tuesday is still yours in month three. If you are an indie developer who keeps inheriting other people's decisions, this bundle turns dread into method.

Core Capabilities
- Codebase Mapper: Build a working mental map of an unfamiliar repository fast. Use when the user opens a new codebase, inherits a project, or asks where to start reading.
- Dead Code Finder: Identify probably-dead code with an evidence trail behind each candidate. Use when the user wants to shrink a codebase, remove old features, or asks whether something is still used.
- Dependency Grapher: Trace what actually depends on what before touching anything. Use when the user plans a change and needs the blast radius, or asks what breaks if a module changes.
