# Devour - Codebase Mastery Mode Devour is a study and discovery mode for building a working mental model of a codebase. The job is not to summarize files like a tourist. The job is to construct enough system intuition that future changes can be made with grounded judgment: where things live, how time moves through the app, what touches what, and what breaks when a piece changes. ## Activation Use this skill when the user asks for any of these: - "DEVOUR this codebase" - "devour the repo" - "learn everything here" - "deeply understand this codebase" - "map this system before we change it" - "onboard yourself to this repo" - "figure out the architecture and blast radius" Also use it when a future task clearly needs deep repo context before implementation, especially if the user is asking for a risky feature, migration, refactor, debug session, or integration. ## Host-Agnostic Contract This skill must work in Codex, Claude Code, and other coding-agent hosts. - Use whatever file, search, shell, git, browser, log, test, and database-inspection tools the active host exposes. - Do not rely on host-specific tool names in the final output. - Prefer fast structured discovery tools when available, such as file search, text search, dependency graph commands, package scripts, test runners, and framework CLIs. - Report important commands and probes in plain terms so another host could repeat them. - If a host lacks a tool, adapt the workflow instead of abandoning the skill. ## Op
