AgentLens - Codebase Navigation
Before Working on Any Codebase
Always start by reading .agentlens/INDEX.md for the project map.
Navigation Hierarchy
| Level | File | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| L0 | INDEX.md |
Project overview, all modules listed |
| L1 | modules/{slug}/MODULE.md |
Module details, file list |
| L1 | modules/{slug}/outline.md |
Symbols in large files |
| L1 | modules/{slug}/memory.md |
TODOs, warnings, business rules |
| L1 | modules/{slug}/imports.md |
File dependencies |
| L2 | files/{slug}.md |
Deep docs for complex files |
Navigation Flow
INDEX.md β Find module β MODULE.md β outline.md/memory.md β Source file
When To Read What
| You Need | Read This |
|---|---|
| Project overview | .agentlens/INDEX.md |
| Find a module | INDEX.md, search module name |
| Understand a module | modules/{slug}/MODULE.md |
| Find function/class in large file | modules/{slug}/outline.md |
| Find TODOs, warnings, rules | modules/{slug}/memory.md |
| Understand file dependencies | modules/{slug}/imports.md |
Best Practices
- Don't read source files directly for large codebases - use outline.md first
- Check memory.md before modifying code to see warnings and TODOs
- Use outline.md to locate symbols, then read only the needed source sections
- Regenerate docs with
agentlenscommand if they seem stale
