## What it does

The skill inspects your input target and assigns the matching Kaizen review technique. It uses a Gemba Walk to inspect actual code paths, Value Stream Mapping to trace multi-stage delivery pipelines, or Muda analysis to spot technical debt. You can override the automatic selection by supplying the METHOD variable with `gemba`, `vsm`, or `muda`.

Execution follows a five-step sequence. The assistant identifies the target, explains why the method applies, walks you through the inspection, and delivers findings with actionable next steps. During a Gemba Walk, it compares prior assumptions against real implementation details, surfacing hidden dependencies and documentation drifts.

If you trigger the command without an argument, the assistant prompts for a target. Manually forcing the method prevents classification missteps when your review touches both application logic and CI/CD automation at the same time.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill analyse -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/analyse/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/analyse/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill analyse -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/analyse/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill analyse -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/analyse/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit analyse
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/analyse/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill analyse -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --path skills/analyse
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/analyse/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill analyse -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit/tree/HEAD/skills/analyse/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- trace gaps between written documentation and actual code implementation
- map deployment pipelines to locate bottlenecks and idle handoff times
- pinpoint code duplication, over-engineering, and technical debt
- explore legacy components before scheduling refactoring work

## Example prompts
- /analyse authentication implementation
- /analyse deployment workflow
- /analyse codebase for inefficiencies
