One of the Team workflow's core strengths is tracing how data moves through a codebase.
How to trace a flow
- With the repository ingested, ask the Team workflow to trace a specific value, request, or data path.
- It maps the flow across the files and functions involved.
- Step through each point to see how the data is transformed.

Pairing with Ask
When a single step is hard to follow, use the Ask workflow to break that piece of logic down step by step.
