This Skill solves the problem of getting lost in an unfamiliar codebase by providing a structured, read-only method to map subsystems and behaviors without the risk of accidental code changes or speculative assumptions.
Invoke the zoom-out skill by asking it to map the specific subsystem or symbol you are currently investigating.

To map unfamiliar codebases safely, you need a read-only exploration approach that traces behaviors to entry points and dependencies without mutating state. This method enforces a strict non-mutating boundary to prevent unintended refactoring during architectural orientation.
Evidence-based codebase analysis is a technical discovery method that traces code relationships by citing verified documentation, tests, and code history. It ensures every identified module dependency and behavior is backed by concrete references rather than speculative assumptions.
To trace API endpoint interactions in a legacy system, map the specific subsystem by following behaviors from entry points through modules to dependencies. This structured orientation process uses existing tests and documentation to verify system relationships before writing new code.
Read-only codebase mapping suits large-scale architectural technical discovery by producing comprehensive subsystem maps. It traces behaviors across entry points and dependencies while maintaining a strict non-mutating state, making it ideal for safely auditing complex unfamiliar systems.
The primary limitation of read-only codebase orientation is that it cannot perform refactoring or system modifications. It is strictly designed for mapping and analysis, meaning you must switch to a separate process once you need to actually implement changes or fix identified architectural issues.
