# /cxpak:overview
Run a cxpak overview on the current project (or a specified path).
## Steps
1. **Parse arguments.** The user may pass a path as an argument (e.g., `/cxpak:overview /path/to/repo`). Default to `.` (current working directory).
2. **Ask for token budget.** Ask: "Token budget for the overview? (default: 50k)" Use their answer or default to `50k`.
3. **Resolve cxpak binary:**
```bash
CXPAK="$("${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/ensure-cxpak")"
```
4. **Run the overview:**
```bash
"$CXPAK" overview --tokens <budget> --format markdown <path>
```
5. **Present the output** to the user. The overview contains project metadata, directory tree, module map, dependency graph, key files, signatures, and git context.
6. **Offer to dive deeper.** If the overview mentions truncated sections with `.cxpak/` detail files, offer to read them for more detail.
