# GSD — Codebase Intelligence
## When to Use
At the start of any new feature or when working in unfamiliar code areas. Build mental model before planning.
## Steps
### Step 1: Identify Key Files
For the feature area:
1. Find entry points (main files, routes, handlers)
2. Find data models/schemas
3. Find configuration files
4. Find test files
### Step 2: Read Architecture
Map the codebase structure:
- Directory organization
- Key abstractions
- Dependency patterns
- Testing approach
### Step 3: Document Intel
Write or update `.planning/intel/<feature>-intel.md`:
```
# Intel: <Feature Area>
## Key Files
- entry-point: <path>
- models: <paths>
- config: <paths>
## Architecture
<brief description of how it works>
## Patterns
<coding patterns observed>
## Questions
<open questions that need answers>
```
## Exit Condition
Intel document exists. You can explain the codebase area in one paragraph.
