SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Before making changes to a codebase or project, teams often struggle to understand the full scope and interdependencies of the files involved. This Skill generates a comprehensive context map that surfaces related files, dependencies, and potential impact to guide decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a structured map of relevant files, their dependencies, and related tests to inform planning.
  • Surface risk points, coupling, and critical entry points to minimize regressions.
  • Use Case: prior to implementing a feature, produce a context map that supports design decisions and risk assessment.

Quick Start

Provide a context map for the current task by listing all relevant files, their dependencies, tests, and relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions about context-map

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map codebase dependencies and related files before making changes?▼

Mapping codebase dependencies before changes involves identifying all relevant files, tests, and relationships to generate a structured context map. This map informs planning decisions by surfacing coupling, critical entry points, and potential impact across directories.

What is the best way to assess risk and potential regressions across a codebase?▼

Risk assessment for codebase regressions requires generating a context map that captures dependencies, tests, and related components. This structured output highlights risk points and coupling, helping teams minimize regressions prior to implementing features.

Can I generate a context map for diverse codebases with different directory structures?▼

Generating a context map for diverse codebases applies to various directory structures by capturing dependencies and tests. The process produces a deterministic, structured output detailing files, patterns, and risk factors suitable for review regardless of layout.

How do I identify all files relevant to a specific feature implementation task?▼

Identifying all files relevant to a specific task involves analyzing the codebase to surface related components, dependencies, and tests. This produces a holistic context map that details relationships and supports design decisions for the feature implementation.

Does planning a code change require understanding full project scope and interdependencies?▼

Planning a code change requires understanding full project scope and interdependencies to prevent regressions. Generating a comprehensive context map surfaces related files, dependencies, and risk points, guiding decision-making before implementation begins.
