SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you encounter an unfamiliar section of a codebase, it is hard to understand how it fits into the bigger picture. This Skill prompts the agent to step back one layer of abstraction and explain the surrounding architecture instead of diving into line-level details. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Broader Context: Shifts the agent's focus from local code details to a higher-level architectural perspective. - Module and Caller Mapping: Produces a map of all relevant modules and their callers so you can see relationships at a glance. - Domain Vocabulary: Uses the project's domain glossary terminology so explanations match how your team talks about the system. - Use Case: You open a file in a large repository you have never worked in. Invoke this Skill to get an overview of which modules depend on this code and which components it interacts with before making changes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to zoom out and map the relevant modules and callers for the code you are currently viewing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand an unfamiliar part of a codebase quickly?

Ask the agent to zoom out one layer of abstraction and map the relevant modules and callers. This gives you an architectural overview of how the code connects to the rest of the system before you read individual lines.

How to see which modules call a piece of code?

Invoke this Skill while viewing the code in question. The agent will identify the relevant modules and their callers, producing a map of dependencies using the project's own domain terminology.

When should I use a zoom-out perspective instead of reading code directly?

Use it when you are unfamiliar with an area of code and need context before making changes. It is less useful when you already understand the architecture and only need to fix a localized bug.

Does this Skill modify or analyze code automatically?

No, it only changes the agent's perspective and response style. It instructs the agent to describe modules, callers, and context at a higher abstraction level without executing scripts or editing files.
