FAQPage Schema

How do I map codebase dependencies before making changes?▼

A codebase context map inventories all files relevant to a task, identifies direct dependencies and related tests, and provides an actionable plan to guide changes and minimize regression risk.

What is the best way to identify related tests and documentation for a code change?▼

A context map scopes to the touched areas of a codebase, extracts direct dependencies, related tests, and relevant references to provide an actionable plan for reviewers and implementers.

How do I reduce regression risk when modifying a codebase?▼

Reduce regression risk by generating a comprehensive context map of all task-related files and modules, ensuring changes are scoped to touched areas and guided by an actionable plan.

Can I scope codebase analysis to only the files affected by my current task?▼

Yes, a context map scopes to the touched areas of a codebase, inventories only the modules related to your current task, and ensures the map is actionable for implementers and reviewers.

Do I need any external dependencies to generate a task context map?▼

No external dependencies are required to generate a task context map; the skill operates independently to inspect your repository and produce an actionable inventory of relevant files.

Why does my codebase need an inventory before implementing changes?▼

Your codebase needs an inventory before changes to provide a clear, up-to-date map of relevant files, which accelerates review and reduces the risk of introducing regressions.
