Analyze Code

This skill helps in understanding code outside of the main project source tree.

Instructions

1. Locate Source:

   • If analyzing an installed library: Find where it is installed (usually .venv/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/).
   • If analyzing non-Python code (e.g. C++, MEDM files): Find the files in the directory tree.

2. Read and Analyze:

   • Use view_file to read the implementation.
   • For binary files or unknown formats, try to find a parser or read as text if applicable (e.g. MEDM .adl files are text).
   • Map the external logic to how it interacts with or should be implemented in the current project.

3. Report:

   • Explain the data structures, algorithms, or logic flow found.
   • Highlight differences with the current implementation.
