SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provide a focused, conceptual overview of a repository so teams can understand stack, architecture, conventions, and high-risk areas without running a full production readiness assessment.

Core Features & Use Cases

Standalone Mapping: Walk the repo to identify languages, frameworks, entry points, and top-level structure.
Mode-aware Exploration: Supports compact and standard modes depending on codebase size and can spawn a mapper subagent when available.
Structured Output: Produces a set of analysis files (.vibe-check/analysis/) such as stack.md, secrets.md, auth.md, and ai-security.md for downstream assessments.
Use Case: Useful for onboarding, pre-audit reconnaissance, or getting a quick readiness snapshot before a deeper /check run.

Quick Start

Run the map-codebase skill to produce a codebase map and write analysis files to .vibe-check/analysis/.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a codebase map for readiness assessment?▼

Generate a codebase map by running the skill to walk your repository, identify languages and frameworks, and write structured analysis files such as stack.md and secrets.md into the .vibe-check/analysis/ directory.

What is codebase mapping and when do I need it?▼

Codebase mapping provides a focused, conceptual overview of a repository's stack, architecture, and conventions. You need it for onboarding, pre-audit reconnaissance, or getting a quick readiness snapshot before a deeper assessment run.

How do I analyze a large repository architecture without running a full audit?▼

You can analyze a large repository by using standard mode exploration, which can spawn a mapper subagent to handle the increased scale and produce structured analysis files without the overhead of a full production readiness assessment.

Does codebase mapping work for compact repositories and small projects?▼

Yes, codebase mapping supports a compact mode designed for smaller repositories, allowing you to quickly identify entry points, top-level structure, and high-risk areas without spawning unnecessary subagents.

What analysis files are produced when mapping a codebase?▼

Mapping a codebase produces structured markdown analysis files in the .vibe-check/analysis/ directory, including stack.md, secrets.md, auth.md, and ai-security.md, which document detected capabilities for downstream assessments.

What are the limitations of using a conceptual codebase map for security review?▼

A conceptual codebase map provides a high-level readiness snapshot and pre-audit reconnaissance but does not replace a full production readiness assessment, meaning it may not detect deep architectural vulnerabilities or complex compliance issues.
