SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Step up one layer of abstraction and produce a map of the relevant modules and their callers — used when you (or the agent) are stuck in one file and losing the bigger picture. Use when user says "zoom out", "give me a map", "I'm lost in this code", or "what calls this".

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produces a compact modules-and-callers map using architecture-language vocabulary.
  • Identifies module dependencies and callers to provide orientation in large codebases.
  • Use case: when debugging a single file and needing a broader context without changing code.

Quick Start

Generate a high-level map of the current code area to regain bearings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a module map when I am lost in a large codebase?

To generate a module map when lost in a large codebase, use this Skill to step up one layer of abstraction. It produces a deterministic, non-editing map of modules, callers, and dependencies to restore your broader context.

What is the best way to understand code architecture across different programming languages?

Understanding code architecture across different languages is achieved by mapping the module landscape and their callers using architecture-language vocabulary. It provides a high-level view applicable across languages without proposing modifications.

Can I see what calls a specific module without modifying my source code?

Yes, you can see what calls a specific module without modifying source code. The Skill produces a deterministic, read-only map of module dependencies and callers, ensuring your code remains unchanged while you regain your bearings.

When should I use a call graph tool instead of manually reading files?

You should use a call graph tool when you are stuck debugging a single file and losing the bigger picture. It helps you step up an abstraction layer to identify module dependencies and callers for larger-scale understanding.

Does this code understanding tool require any specific dependencies or components to run?

No specific dependencies or components are required to run this code understanding tool. It operates independently to map the module landscape and summarize callers using architecture-language vocabulary across any codebase.
