 "page_title": "How to map entry points and sinks in a source repository with Ablation",
 "summary": "Rank source files, map entry points, and trace risky sinks for a code audit.",
 "who": "An application security reviewer who has been asked to audit a source repository with limited review time.",
 "problem": "Deciding which files to read first and tracing paths from entry points to sinks takes hours of manual reading.",
 "outcome": "A ranked file list, a map of entry points and sinks, and a coverage record showing which files were reviewed.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `cd ~/ablation && claude` in the repo.",
  "Run `/model claude-sonnet-4-6` in the session.",
  "Ask the agent to run source code auditing on <repo path>, covering file profiling, entry point mapping, and sink tracing.",
  "Ask the agent to write the coverage accounting for the files it did and did not review."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Ablation repo at ~/ablation, audit the source repository at <repo path>. Produce a ranked file list, a table of entry points and sinks, and a coverage summary of reviewed versus unreviewed files. Verify that every listed sink has a traced path from an entry point, or is marked as untraced.",
