description: Explore the repository with 10 parallel subagents to create comprehensive documentation. Creates CODEBASE.md with full architecture analysis.

Bootstrap Repository

Perform a comprehensive exploration of the current repository using 10 parallel subagents, then synthesize findings into a single CODEBASE.md document.

Phase 1: Initial Scan

Before spawning subagents, gather basic repo info:

git remote -v
git log --oneline -5

Use Glob to identify the project root and top-level structure:

• Check for `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `Cargo.toml`, `go.mod`, `Makefile`, `Dockerfile`, etc.
• Identify the primary language and framework

Phase 2: Spawn 10 Exploration Subagents (Parallel)

**CRITICAL**: Launch ALL 10 Task calls in a SINGLE message for true parallelism. Each subagent uses `run_in_background: true`.

[Task 1]
description: "File Structure Explorer"
prompt: "Map the complete directory tree of this repository. Identify:
- Top-level directory purposes (src/, lib/, tests/, docs/, etc.)
- Entry points (main files, index files, app files)
- Configuration files and their roles
- Generated vs source directories
- File count and language breakdown by directory
Report a structured tree with annotations for each directory's purpose."
run_in_background: true

[Task 2]
description: "Dependency Analyzer"
prompt: "Analyze all dependency files in this repository:
- Package manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.)
- Lock files and their state
- Direct vs transitive dependency count
- Key dependencies and what they provide (framework, ORM, HTTP client, etc.)
- Dev dependencies and their purposes
- Any outdated or pinned versions worth noting
Report a categorized dependency inventory."
run_in_background: true

[Task 3]
description: "Architecture Mapper"
prompt: "Determine the high-level architecture of this project:
- Architectural style (monolith, microservices, serverless, plugin system, CLI, library)
- Layer structure (presentation, business logic, data access)
- Module boundaries and how they communicate
- Key abstractions and interfaces
- Configuration management approach
- Error handling patterns
Create an ASCII architecture diagram showing component relationships."
run_in_background: true

[Task 4]
description: "Data Layer Analyst"
prompt: "Analyze the data layer of this repository:
- Database type and ORM/query builder used
- Schema definitions or migrations
- Models/entities and their relationships
- Data validation approach
- Caching strategy (if any)
- File-based storage or state management
If no database exists, analyze how state and data are managed (files, config, in-memory)."
run_in_background: true

[Task 5]
description: "API Surface Mapper"
prompt: "Map all external-facing interfaces:
- HTTP/REST/GraphQL endpoints with methods and paths
- CLI commands and their arguments
- Library exports and public API
- Event handlers or message consumers
- Webhook endpoints
- Plugin interfaces or extension points
For each interface, note its purpose and any authentication requirements."
run_in_background: true

[Task 6]
description: "Testing Analyst"
prompt: "Evaluate the testing setup:
- Test framework(s) used
- Test directory structure
- Types of tests present (unit, integration, e2e, snapshot)
- Test configuration files
- Coverage configuration and thresholds
- Test utilities, fixtures, and helpers
- How to run the tests (commands)
- Approximate test count and coverage level"
run_in_background: true

[Task 7]
description: "Deployment Analyst"
prompt: "Analyze deployment and CI/CD configuration:
- CI/CD pipeline files (.github/workflows, .gitlab-ci.yml, Jenkinsfile, etc.)
- Dockerfile and docker-compose configurations
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation)
- Environment configuration (.env.example, config files)
- Build scripts and output
- Release/versioning strategy
- Deployment targets (cloud provider, platform)"
run_in_background: true

[Task 8]
description: "Security Reviewer"
prompt: "Perform a security-oriented scan:
- Authentication and authorization mechanisms
- Secret management approach (.env, vault, etc.)
- Input validation and sanitization patterns
- CORS, CSP, and other security headers
- Dependency vulnerability indicators
- File permission patterns
- Any security-related middleware or hooks
Note: Do NOT report actual secret values, only patterns."
run_in_background: true

[Task 9]
description: "Documentation Auditor"
prompt: "Catalog existing documentation:
- README files and their completeness
- API documentation (Swagger, JSDoc, docstrings)
- Architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Contributing guides
- Changelog and versioning docs
- Inline code documentation quality
- Configuration documentation
Rate documentation completeness: None / Minimal / Moderate / Comprehensive"
run_in_background: true

[Task 10]
description: "Domain Model Analyst"
prompt: "Understand the business domain:
- Core domain concepts and entities
- Business rules encoded in the codebase
- Domain-specific terminology (build a glossary)
- Workflows and state machines
- Validation rules and constraints
- Key algorithms or business logic
Report a domain glossary and concept map."
run_in_background: true

Phase 3: Collect Results

Each subagent returns its result automatically when it completes — there is no separate retrieval call. Launch the `Task` calls in a single message, then read each returned summary as it finishes.

Phase 4: Synthesize into CODEBASE.md

Combine all subagent findings into a single `CODEBASE.md` at the project root. Use this structure:

# [Project Name] - Codebase Documentation

> Auto-generated by bootstrap-repo on YYYY-MM-DD
