SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of losing track of how a codebase fits together as it grows. Traditional tools show files and folders, but they don't reveal the actual architectural concepts and system boundaries that matter for understanding. ClaudeMap reads your project and groups it into systems you actually think about, so you can zoom out for the big picture or zoom in for details without getting lost in directory trees.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Architecture Mapping: Snapshots the repository and uses AI to group files into intuitive systems with health indicators.
  • Live Walkthroughs: Drives guided presentations with highlights, captions, and flows across the map for code reviews or onboarding.
  • Scoped Subsystem Maps: Creates focused maps for individual subsystems so large codebases stay navigable.
  • Use Case: A developer can generate a full architecture map of a weekend-built app, then use natural language to highlight the auth system, walk through request handling, or identify the riskiest areas by health score.

Quick Start

Use the claudemap-runtime skill to analyze the current repository and open an interactive architecture map in your browser.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize codebase architecture from a repository snapshot?

You can visualize codebase architecture by generating a detailed architecture graph with systems, files, and import edges. This process groups files into intuitive systems with health indicators, allowing you to zoom out for the big picture or zoom in for details without getting lost in directory trees.

Can I generate architecture maps for Python and TypeScript projects?

Yes, you can generate architecture maps for Python and TypeScript projects. The mapping applies to codebase onboarding, architecture review, and change-impact analysis across JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python projects.

What is the best way to do codebase onboarding for new developers?

The best way to handle codebase onboarding is using live walkthroughs. These guided presentations drive highlights, captions, and flows across the architecture map, helping new developers understand request handling and system boundaries.

How do I analyze change-impact and identify risky areas in a codebase?

You can analyze change-impact and identify risky areas by applying AI subagent graph enrichment to your repository. This generates health scores and scoped subsystem maps, highlighting the riskiest areas for focused architecture review.

Do I need an AI subagent and Vite UI to render interactive architecture maps?

Yes, you need an AI subagent for graph enrichment and a Vite-based UI for rendering. The system also uses MCP transport for live presentation control to drive interactive architecture maps in your browser.

Why use AI-driven architecture mapping instead of traditional file and folder views?

AI-driven architecture mapping reveals actual architectural concepts and system boundaries that traditional file and folder views miss. It groups files into systems you actually think about, ensuring large codebases stay navigable through scoped subsystem maps.
