Use case / PAS-002

Audit an unfamiliar codebase before making changes

User Problem

A user inherited a project and needs Codex to understand the architecture, risks, and safe next steps before changing code.

Proof Claim Boundary

Operator dogfooding and product capability evidence only; no natural demand, GEO success, AI citation, AI recommendation, traffic, lead, revenue, or conversion claim.

Manual install only: yes. Hosted execution: false.

Sanitized Prompt

I want Codex to look at a project I inherited and explain the architecture, important files, risks, and safe next steps before anything changes.

When To Use

  • A user inherited a project and needs Codex to understand the architecture, risks, and safe next steps before changing code.
  • Use this workflow when the expected output is codebase map; risk notes; recommended implementation plan.

When Not To Use

  • Do not use this workflow to bypass the stated safety boundary: L1 local analysis. No code changes, install commands, deploys, credential handling, or account actions are implied.
  • Do not treat the tested workflow as evidence of natural demand, AI citation, AI recommendation, traffic, lead, or conversion improvement.

Matched Solution

Audit an unfamiliar codebase before making changes is the canonical solution route for this scenario.

How Codex Explains And Executes The Plan

Inspect the project structure, identify important files and dependencies, summarize architecture, surface risk areas, and produce a safe analysis-first plan.

What You Need To Confirm

  • Confirm the sanitized task inputs, expected output, and scope before Codex starts.
  • Confirm whether Codex should return a plan only or may make reviewed local changes.
  • Approve any manual package download, local file change, command execution, account action, or deployment separately.
  • Review the verification checklist and stop if the result crosses the stated risk boundary.

Expected Output

Codebase map; risk notes; recommended implementation plan.

Verification Checklist

  • Output includes architecture map, important files, entry points, risks, assumptions, and next steps.
  • Edits remain out of scope unless separately authorized.
  • No dependencies are installed and no external service is contacted.

Risk Boundary

L1 local analysis. No code changes, install commands, deploys, credential handling, or account actions are implied.
