What problem does it solve?
Security researchers and code auditors repeatedly spend time re-discovering the same execution paths (authentication, data pipelines, permission checks) each time they revisit a codebase. This Skill captures lightweight, navigable flow maps that document where to look so agents and humans can rebuild context in seconds instead of re-exploring the repository.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Index and Discover: Run an index over stored cartography files and surface existing flows that match the investigator's query.
- Seeded and Unseeded Exploration: Follow a callgraph from provided entry points or deploy a swarm of subagents to discover candidate files, then refine into a linear flow sequence.
- Author Cartography Files: Create slugified cartography files with YAML frontmatter, entry points, key components, flow sequences, security notes, and conditional sections for optional sub-flows.
- Use Case: Trace an authentication flow across services, document entry points and trust boundaries, and save a cartography file so future audits load precise context instantly.
Quick Start
Ask cartography to map the authentication flow starting from gateway/src/middleware/auth.ts.
