SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of maintaining up-to-date documentation and architectural understanding in complex, evolving codebases by automating the discovery and mapping process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Mapping: Uses multiple specialized agents to analyze technology, architecture, quality, and concerns simultaneously.
  • Structured Documentation: Automatically generates a comprehensive set of seven codebase documents in the .planning/codebase/ directory.
  • Use Case: Onboard new team members or prepare for major refactoring by generating a complete, standardized map of an unfamiliar project's structure and conventions.

Quick Start

Invoke the gsd-map-codebase skill to perform a full parallel analysis of the current project codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate documentation for an unfamiliar codebase?

Automated codebase documentation is generated by analyzing local project directories with parallel mapper agents, producing standardized reports on technology, structure, and quality conventions.

What's the best way to map software architecture for onboarding new team members?

Mapping software architecture for onboarding uses parallel specialized agents to analyze codebase concerns simultaneously, generating a comprehensive set of structured architectural documents.

How does parallel codebase analysis work for understanding project structure?

Parallel codebase analysis works by spawning multiple mapper agents to evaluate technology, architecture, and quality metrics simultaneously, which then compile results into standardized planning artifacts.

Do I need a specific framework to automate codebase mapping and architectural insights?

Automated codebase mapping requires integration with the Codex agent framework to spawn parallel analysis tasks and manage project-level planning artifacts within the local directory.

Can I use automated codebase analysis to prepare for a major project refactoring?

Automated codebase analysis prepares for major refactoring by generating a complete, standardized map of project structure and conventions, providing necessary architectural insights before changes.

What documents are generated by automated codebase intelligence tools?

Codebase intelligence tools generate a comprehensive set of seven structured documentation files in the .planning/codebase/ directory, covering technology stacks, architecture, and quality conventions.
