# analyze-new-repo

`analyze-new-repo` is a repository analysis skill for developers opening an unfamiliar codebase for the first time.

It is designed to produce a short, readable analysis report that helps a developer understand the repository's purpose, execution model, defining design decisions, architectural center of gravity, and practical risks without turning the result into an overly long walkthrough.

## What This Project Provides

This repository currently provides one skill:

- `analyze-new-repo`
  - explains what the project is really trying to do
  - explains how it runs and how it is organized
  - surfaces the design decisions that define the codebase
  - highlights the most important risks and unknowns
  - identifies where the repository's real structural weight sits

## Intended Output Style

The skill is designed to produce:

- a report a developer can read in one pass
- analysis with judgment, not just README paraphrase
- bullet-driven writing that combines facts and interpretation
- section structure that adapts to the repository instead of forcing one rigid template

The goal is to help a developer form the right mental model quickly after opening a new repository.
