Frequently Asked Questions about GSD Codebase Mapper

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze an existing codebase for structure and technical debt?▼

Analyzing an existing codebase for structure and technical debt requires traversing the file system and pattern matching to identify project dependencies, coding conventions, and deprecated code automatically.

How do I generate architecture documentation for a large software project?▼

Generating architecture documentation for a software project is done by scanning the codebase to map structural patterns and dependencies, which produces ARCHITECTURE.md and STACK.md files for onboarding and maintenance.

What is the best way to identify technical debt and deprecated code during refactoring?▼

The best way to identify technical debt during refactoring is to scan the codebase for TODOs, FIXMEs, and deprecated code patterns, surfacing maintenance issues alongside structural dependency analysis.

Can I map codebase dependencies without installing additional libraries?▼

Yes, you can map codebase dependencies without external libraries by using built-in shell commands for file system traversal and JSON parsing to identify project type and dependency structures directly.

Does codebase mapping work for project onboarding in unfamiliar software environments?▼

Codebase mapping works for project onboarding by analyzing the project directory to generate a clear architectural overview and technology stack documentation, helping new developers understand unfamiliar environments quickly.
