SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly understand unfamiliar parts of a codebase by zooming out to higher-level structure and relationships.

Core Features & Use Cases

Higher-level abstraction: Reframes an area of code you don’t know into the larger system’s purpose and boundaries.
Module and caller mapping: Produces a map of relevant modules and who calls them, aligned to the project’s domain glossary vocabulary.
Context-first onboarding: Useful for onboarding, navigating large repositories, or preparing safer, more accurate changes when you’re still orienting yourself.

Quick Start

Ask the agent: "Zoom out on this part of the codebase and map the relevant modules and callers using our domain glossary vocabulary."

FAQPage Schema

How do I get a higher-level code map for an unfamiliar codebase area?▼

Code comprehension of an unfamiliar codebase area involves identifying relevant abstractions and mapping module boundaries. It reframes low-level implementation details into higher-level system purposes using the project's domain glossary vocabulary.

How do I map relevant modules and callers using a domain glossary?▼

To map modules and callers using a domain glossary, you restructure your understanding of the code by identifying relevant abstractions. This produces a caller map that aligns system relationships with the project's established domain vocabulary.

What is the best way to prepare for code navigation in a large repository?▼

The best way to prepare for code navigation in a large repository is generating a higher-level abstraction of the target area. This approach provides broader context by mapping relevant modules and callers before you attempt changes.

Can I use abstraction mapping for onboarding context to a new codebase?▼

Yes, you can use abstraction mapping for onboarding context to a new codebase. It provides context-first onboarding by reframing unfamiliar code into the larger system's purpose and boundaries, producing a fast module map for safer changes.

When do I need a module and caller map for code comprehension?▼

You need a module and caller map for code comprehension when you are orienting yourself in unfamiliar code areas. It is specifically useful for onboarding, navigating large repositories, or planning safer changes when you lack broader context.
