// PROJECT 01 // CODEBASE INTELLIGENCEPATHFINDER
SEE THE SYSTEM.
KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE CHANGING.
Pathfinder is a procedural code-mapping tool for understanding an unfamiliar or rapidly changing codebase before making changes to it.
// WHY[ 01 ]
AI CAN WRITE CODE.
CONTEXT IS HARDER.
As development accelerates, understanding the system around a change becomes increasingly important. Pathfinder maps files, connections, listeners, services, boundaries and dependencies without asking an LLM to invent a picture of the codebase.
It is designed as an outside procedural observer: establish what exists, expose the relationships, then give humans and AI a shared map to reason from.
// FROM OVERVIEW TO SYMBOL[ 02 ]
ARCHITECTURAL → SYMBOLICMove from the system map into the relationships inside a selected module.
// HANDOFF[ 03 ]
A SHARED BRIEFINGExport structural context so the next human or AI entering the project starts with a map instead of a guess.
