Existing Repo

This is your onboarding checklist when you inherit someone else's codebase. It walks through detection scripts to figure out what you're dealing with (monorepo, full-stack, microservices), maps the directory structure, and identifies existing conventions before you touch anything. Then it audits what guardrails are already there (Husky, ESLint, pre-commit hooks, commitlint) and only adds what's missing. The philosophy is sound: understand before modifying, respect existing patterns, don't reorganize. Covers both JavaScript and Python stacks with actual bash commands you can run. High effort rating is accurate since proper repository analysis takes time, but you'll avoid breaking things by rushing in.
