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 → Find module → MODULE.md → outline.md/memory.md → 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
```
agentlens
```
command if they seem stale
