SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you encounter an unfamiliar section of code, it is hard to understand how it fits into the bigger picture. This Skill prompts the agent to step up a layer of abstraction and explain the surrounding architecture instead of line-level details. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Broader Context: Shifts the agent's focus from a single code fragment to the modules and callers around it. - Architecture Mapping: Produces a map of relevant modules and their callers so you can see relationships at a glance. - Domain Vocabulary: Uses the project's domain glossary vocabulary so explanations match the team's terminology. - Use Case: You open a function in a legacy service you have never touched. Invoke this Skill to get an overview of which modules call it and which components it depends on before making changes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to zoom out and map the relevant modules and callers for the code section you are currently viewing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand an unfamiliar section of code quickly?▼

Ask the agent to zoom out from the code fragment and map the relevant modules and callers. This gives a higher-level view of how the piece fits into the system before you read line-by-line details.

How to get a high-level architecture overview of a codebase area?▼

Invoke the zoom-out instruction so the agent goes up a layer of abstraction and produces a map of modules and their callers. The overview uses the project's domain glossary vocabulary for consistent terminology.

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

Use it when you are unfamiliar with an area of code and need context before details. It is most useful early in exploration; once you understand the module relationships, switch to reading the specific implementation.

What are the limitations of a high-level code map?▼

A module and caller map explains structure and relationships but not implementation details or runtime behavior. You still need to read the actual code or run tests to verify logic and edge cases.
