Prompt

First read ALL of the AGENTS.md file and README.md file super carefully and understand ALL of both! Then use your code investigation agent mode to fully understand the code, and technical architecture and purpose of the project. Use ultrathink.

When to Use

  • When working on an unfamiliar project
  • After context compaction to restore understanding
  • Before any major architectural decisions

Tips

  • Always use this before significant work
  • Essential for maintaining project coherence
