SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps developers quickly determine where a requested change or idea should be placed within a codebase, highlighting relevant files, modules, constraints, and feasibility considerations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scope Resolution: Determines the exact area of the repository affected by the change.
  • Targeted Search: Finds the most relevant files and patterns related to the requested modification.
  • Placement Options: Generates candidate locations with associated risks and dependencies.
  • Feasibility Notes: Provides concise notes on constraints, required refactoring, and potential impacts.
  • Use Case Example: When a user wants to add a new authentication method, the skill pinpoints the appropriate module, lists related dependencies, and outlines any compatibility concerns.

Quick Start

Ask the map-change skill to locate the best place for a new feature in the repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about map-change

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the best place to add a new feature in a repository?▼

Code placement analysis works by mapping a requested change to relevant files and patterns, then assessing feasibility and constraints to produce candidate placement options alongside a narrowed working set for planning.

What is the process for assessing code change feasibility before implementation?▼

Assessing code change feasibility involves mapping the requested modification against existing repository patterns to generate concise notes on constraints, required refactoring, and potential compatibility impacts.

How do I identify which modules and dependencies are affected by a requested code change?▼

To identify affected modules and dependencies for a requested code change, scope resolution locates the exact repository area involved and lists related dependencies and compatibility concerns.

What's the best way to map out risks and constraints for modifying an existing codebase?▼

The best way to map out risks and constraints is to generate candidate placement locations for your requested change, which highlights necessary refactoring and potential impacts before implementation begins.

Can I use code-mapping to narrow down a working set of files for further planning?▼

Yes, you can use code-mapping to narrow down a working set of files for further planning by locating the most relevant files and patterns related to your requested modification.
