SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Users get stuck when code is unfamiliar and they need architectural orientation and ownership context before making changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Broader abstraction mapping: Moves from a local code area to higher-level modules and relationships.
  • Caller and module context: Identifies relevant modules and who calls them to clarify integration points.
  • Blueprint-aligned vocabulary: Uses the project's recorded terminology by searching relevant blueprints vault domain and decision artifacts when available, and proceeds silently if nothing is found.

Quick Start

Ask for a zoom-out map of the code area you are investigating, including relevant modules and callers described using the project’s vocabulary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get architectural orientation in an unfamiliar codebase before making changes?

Architectural orientation in an unfamiliar codebase is achieved by expanding from a local snippet to broader module and caller context. This produces a module-and-caller map that clarifies integration points and ownership boundaries.

What is the best way to discover code ownership and caller graphs for unfamiliar modules?

Discovering code ownership and caller graphs requires tracing local code out to higher-level modules and identifying who calls them. This approach clarifies integration points and prepares you for safe modifications.

How do I map a local code snippet to its broader module context?

Mapping a local code snippet to broader module context involves expanding outward to identify relevant modules and their callers. The resulting map uses the project's recorded terminology to ensure architectural understanding.

Can I use blueprints vault documentation to align codebase navigation vocabulary?

Blueprints vault documentation can be searched for domain and decision artifacts to align codebase navigation vocabulary. If no relevant vault documentation exists, the process proceeds silently without forcing terminology alignment.

Do I need existing blueprints vault artifacts to map unfamiliar code?

Existing blueprints vault artifacts are not required to map unfamiliar code. The mapping process silently proceeds with standard module-and-caller identification if no relevant domain or decision documentation is found.

When should I not use a module-and-caller map for codebase orientation?

A module-and-caller map should not be used when you only need to understand a single isolated function without architectural context. It is designed for broader codebase orientation and preparation for safe changes.
