map-codebase

You can visualize an unfamiliar codebase by generating a structured codebase map that identifies modules, entry points, and dependencies, producing a Mermaid diagram and a module inventory to document the architecture.

Mapping a large monorepo is best done by generating a module inventory and a Mermaid dependency diagram that highlights cross-module interactions and core technologies, writing the structured results into a markdown file.

Generating a Mermaid diagram for your codebase involves running a mapping command that analyzes your project structure, identifies dependencies, and outputs a visual module dependency graph alongside a detailed dependency matrix.

Codebase mapping works effectively for brownfield project onboarding and risk assessment by generating pre-reading materials like a module inventory and dependency matrix to help developers quickly understand existing architecture.

The codebase map and module inventory results are written to a specific context directory as a markdown file, ensuring the architectural diagrams and dependency matrices integrate seamlessly into pre-reading and initialization workflows.
