Reading order for trailhead


  1. README.md                  what the project is
  2. cmd/api/main.go            entry point
  3. web/src/main.tsx           entry point
  4. web/src/lib/types.ts       used by 5 files
  5. web/src/lib/api.ts         used by 4 files

The order is:

  1. The README.
  2. Entry points: main.go, index.ts, app.py, main.rs and similar, outside tests and examples.
  3. The files the rest of the code uses most, from the same ranking as --ai’s key files.

The list stops at 15 steps. Each step says why it’s there.

It’s also available to agents as the reading_order MCP tool.
