This Skill helps when a code area feels unfamiliar and you need a higher-level map instead of isolated implementation details. It shifts the conversation from local lines of code to the modules, boundaries, and callers that explain how the system fits together.
Ask the agent to zoom out on the current code area and show the relevant modules, callers, and domain terms.

To understand unfamiliar codebase architecture, generate a high-level map of relevant modules, callers, and domain glossary terms. This approach shifts focus from local implementation details to system boundaries and data flow, revealing how the specific section integrates into the larger project.
Mapping callers and dependencies for a legacy module involves identifying upstream callers and neighboring components to trace data flow. This architectural context highlights critical relationships and boundaries, explaining how the inherited subsystem fits into the broader system without requiring low-level code review.
Finding relevant modules before modifying an unfamiliar feature requires creating an inventory of surrounding modules and their relationships. By identifying upstream callers and aligning domain vocabulary, you clarify structural boundaries and determine exactly what to inspect before committing to a change.
This code exploration method does not provide low-level implementation details. It specifically filters out local lines of code to deliver a high-level architectural inventory, focusing purely on surrounding modules, caller relationships, and domain glossary terminology to explain the broader system structure.
You can use architectural context mapping to discover domain glossary terminology by reframing code explanations using the project's own vocabulary. This domain vocabulary alignment makes the structural components easier to recognize and connects local features to the established system architecture.
Zooming out on a codebase helps with module discovery by shifting the analysis from isolated code segments to architectural boundaries. This reveals the high-level inventory of surrounding modules and callers, providing the necessary structural context to navigate and comprehend unfamiliar features quickly.
