Execution Strategy

执行策略

Follow these phases in order. Do not skip phases. Think step-by-step and be methodical.

按顺序遵循以下阶段,不要跳过任何阶段。逐步思考,保持有条不紊。

Phase 1: Reconnaissance (Broad Scan)

阶段1:侦察(全面扫描)

Goal: Build a mental map of the codebase without reading every file.
  1. List the top-level directory structure (2-3 levels deep). Note the directory layout and naming conventions.
  2. Identify key manifest/config files — prioritize reading these first:
    • Package manifests:
      package.json
      ,
      Cargo.toml
      ,
      go.mod
      ,
      pyproject.toml
      ,
      pom.xml
      ,
      build.gradle
      ,
      build.gradle.kts
      ,
      Gemfile
      ,
      *.csproj
      ,
      Podfile
      ,
      *.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
      ,
      Package.swift
      , etc.
    • Build/CI configs:
      Makefile
      ,
      Dockerfile
      ,
      docker-compose.yml
      ,
      .github/workflows/*

      ,
      nx.json
      ,
      lerna.json
      ,
      fastlane/Fastfile
    • Config files:
      tsconfig.json
      ,
      .eslintrc.*
      ,
      .env.example
      ,
      webpack.config.*
      ,
      vite.config.*
      ,
      detekt.yml
      ,
      .rubocop.yml
      ,

      CONTRIBUTING.md
      ,
      ARCHITECTURE.md
      ,
      docs/
      folder
  3. Identify multi-module/monorepo structure (if applicable): Map packages, modules, services, targets, shared libraries, and their relationships.
  4. Catalog languages and frameworks used across the codebase based on file extensions, imports, and manifests.
目标:无需阅读每个文件,构建代码库的心智地图。
  1. 列出顶层目录结构(2-3层深度)。注意目录布局和命名约定。
  2. 识别关键清单/配置文件 — 优先阅读以下文件:
    • 包清单:
      package.json
      ,
      Cargo.toml
      ,
      go.mod
      ,
      pyproject.toml
      ,
      pom.xml
      ,
      build.gradle
      ,
      build.gradle.kts
      ,

      ,
      .env.example
      ,
      webpack.config.*
      ,

      文件夹
  3. 识别多模块/单体仓库结构(如适用):梳理包、模块、服务、目标、共享库及其相互关系。
  4. 归类代码库中使用的语言和框架:根据文件扩展名、导入语句和清单进行识别。

Phase 2: Architectural Deep Dive

阶段2:架构深度剖析

Goal: Understand how the system is structured and how components interact.
  1. Identify entry points:
    main.*
    ,
    index.*
    ,
    app.*
    ,
    server.*
    ,
    AppDelegate.*
    ,
    Application.*
    , route definitions, CLI entrypoints, activity/fragment entry points (Android), view controller hierarchies (iOS).
  2. Trace core application flows: Follow up to 5 critical paths end-to-end (e.g., an API request from route → controller → service → data layer → response, a UI interaction from user event → state management → rendering, a background job lifecycle). If more flows exist, note them and reference the files where a reader can trace them independently.
  3. Map the dependency graph between internal modules/packages. Note which components depend on which.
  4. Identify architectural patterns: microservices, monolith, event-driven, hexagonal/clean architecture, MVC, CQRS, etc.
  5. Examine data layer: Database schemas/migrations, ORM usage, data models, caching strategies.
  6. Examine API surface: REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, IPC, or SDK interface definitions. Note auth patterns, protocol buffers, or API contracts.
目标:理解系统的结构以及组件间的交互方式。
  1. 识别入口点
    main.*
    ,
    index.*
    ,
    app.*
    ,
    server.*
    ,
    AppDelegate.*
    ,
    Application.*
    , 路由定义、CLI入口点、Android的Activity/Fragment入口点、iOS的视图控制器层级。
  2. 追踪核心应用流程:从头到尾追踪最多5条关键路径(例如,API请求从路由→控制器→服务→数据层→响应,UI交互从用户事件→状态管理→渲染,后台任务生命周期)。如果存在更多流程,请记录它们并标注读者可独立追踪这些流程的文件位置。
  3. 绘制内部模块/包之间的依赖图:记录哪些组件依赖于哪些组件。
  4. 识别架构模式:微服务、单体应用、事件驱动、六边形/整洁架构、MVC、CQRS等。
  5. 检查数据层:数据库模式/迁移、ORM使用情况、数据模型、缓存策略。
  6. 检查API接口:REST、GraphQL、gRPC、WebSocket、IPC或SDK接口定义。记录认证模式、Protocol Buffers或API契约。

Phase 3: Quality & Patterns Assessment

阶段3:质量与模式评估

Goal: Evaluate engineering practices and code quality.
  1. Testing: Examine test directory structure, frameworks used, test patterns (unit, integration, e2e), coverage configuration, fixture/mock strategies.
  2. Error handling: How are errors propagated? Is there centralized error handling? Logging strategy?
  3. Type safety & validation: Type safety strictness (e.g., compiler flags, strict modes, lint rules), runtime validation (schema libraries, contract enforcement), null safety, and input/output schema enforcement.
  4. Security posture: Auth/authz patterns, secrets management, input sanitization, dependency vulnerabilities (if lockfile present).
  5. Code patterns: Scan for consistency in naming conventions, module organization, abstraction levels, and code duplication.
目标:评估工程实践和代码质量。
  1. 测试:检查测试目录结构、使用的框架、测试模式(单元测试、集成测试、端到端测试)、覆盖率配置、夹具/模拟策略。
  2. 错误处理:错误如何传播?是否有集中式错误处理?日志策略是什么?
  3. 类型安全与验证:类型安全严格程度(例如,编译器标志、严格模式、 lint规则)、运行时验证(Schema库、契约强制执行)、空值安全以及输入/输出Schema验证。
  4. 安全态势:认证/授权模式、密钥管理、输入 sanitization、依赖漏洞(如果存在锁定文件)。
  5. 代码模式:检查命名约定、模块组织、抽象层级和代码重复的一致性。

Phase 4: Infrastructure & Operations

阶段4:基础设施与运维

Goal: Understand how the software is built, deployed, and operated.
  1. Build system: Build tooling, bundling, compilation steps, monorepo task orchestration.
  2. CI/CD pipeline: Examine workflow files for test, lint, build, deploy stages.
  3. Deployment model: Containers, serverless, PaaS, static hosting, app store distribution, embedded/firmware delivery. Infrastructure-as-code if present (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK).
  4. Observability: Logging, metrics, tracing, monitoring, alerting configuration.
  5. Environment management: How are environments (dev, staging, prod) differentiated?
目标:了解软件的构建、部署和运维方式。
  1. 构建系统:构建工具、打包、编译步骤、单体仓库任务编排。
  2. CI/CD流水线:检查工作流文件中的测试、lint、构建、部署阶段。
  3. 部署模型:容器、无服务器、PaaS、静态托管、应用商店分发、嵌入式/固件交付。如果存在基础设施即代码(Terraform、Pulumi、CDK),也需检查。
  4. 可观测性:日志、指标、追踪、监控、告警配置。
  5. 环境管理:开发、 staging、生产环境如何区分?

Phase 5: Synthesis & Document Generation

阶段5:综合分析与文档生成

Goal: Compile findings into the output document.
Use the output template in
references/output-template.md
for the document structure. Write the final analysis to the output path described in the Output section above.

目标:将调查结果整理成输出文档。
使用
references/output-template.md
中的输出模板作为文档结构。将最终分析写入上述输出部分描述的输出路径。

Execution Rules

执行规则

  1. Read before you write. Do not generate the document until you have completed Phases 1-4.
  2. Reference specific files. Every claim should reference actual file paths (e.g.,
    src/api/routes.ts
    ). Never make generic observations without evidence.
  3. Be honest about unknowns. If you couldn't determine something (e.g., a compiled/minified section, or a service you lack access to), say so explicitly.
  4. Prioritize depth over breadth. For any non-trivial codebase, you cannot read every file. Focus on entry points, core business logic, and architectural boundaries. Skip generated code, vendored dependencies, and boilerplate.
  5. Use ASCII diagrams for architecture and flow illustrations. Keep them simple and readable.
  6. Scale your effort. Spend roughly 60% of effort on Phases 2-3 (architecture and quality), 20% on Phase 1 (recon), and 20% on Phase 4 (infra).
  7. Write the output file in sections. Build the markdown file incrementally — write each major section as you complete it rather than trying to write the entire document in a single operation.
  8. File size heuristic. When deciding what to read in large directories, prioritize: entry points > configuration > core domain logic > utilities > tests > generated code.
  9. Read-only analysis. Do not modify, create, or delete any files in the target codebase. The only file you write is the output analysis document.
  10. Large codebase heuristic. For monorepos or codebases with more than 500 files, focus analysis on the top 2-3 most significant modules/services rather than attempting complete coverage. Note scope limitations in the Executive Summary.
  1. 先阅读再撰写:完成阶段1-4之前,不要生成文档。
  2. 引用具体文件:每个结论都应引用实际文件路径(例如
    src/api/routes.ts
    )。切勿在没有证据的情况下做出一般性观察。
  3. 如实说明未知内容:如果无法确定某些内容(例如,编译/压缩的部分,或无法访问的服务),请明确说明。
  4. 优先深度而非广度:对于任何非平凡的代码库,你无法阅读每个文件。重点关注入口点、核心业务逻辑和架构边界。跳过生成的代码、第三方依赖和样板代码。
  5. 使用ASCII图展示架构和流程。保持图表简洁易读。
  6. 合理分配精力:大约60%的精力用于阶段2-3(架构和质量),20%用于阶段1(侦察),20%用于阶段4(基础设施)。
  7. 分章节撰写输出文件:逐步构建Markdown文件——完成每个主要章节后立即撰写,而非尝试一次性完成整个文档。
  8. 文件大小启发式规则:在决定大型目录中要阅读的内容时,优先级为:入口点 > 配置 > 核心领域逻辑 > 工具类 > 测试 > 生成代码。
  9. 只读分析:不要修改、创建或删除目标代码库中的任何文件。你唯一可以写入的文件是输出分析文档。
  10. 大型代码库启发式规则:对于单体仓库或文件数量超过500的代码库,重点分析前2-3个最重要的模块/服务,而非尝试全面覆盖。在执行摘要中说明范围限制。
