SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tell the agent to zoom out and provide a higher-level perspective, helping you understand how the codebase fits together when you are unfamiliar with a section of code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a high-level map of modules and their callers using the project's domain glossary vocabulary.
  • Facilitate architecture reviews, onboarding, and cross-team understanding by abstracting away low-level details.
  • Use case: when exploring new code or evaluating design choices, obtain a holistic view of dependencies and interactions.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to zoom out and generate a high-level map of the codebase showing modules and callers.

Frequently Asked Questions about zoom-out

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a high-level map of my codebase modules and their callers?▼

To get a high-level map of your codebase, the Skill abstracts away low-level details to show modules and their callers using the project's domain glossary vocabulary. It provides a holistic view of dependencies and interactions.

What is the best way to review code architecture in an unfamiliar code area?▼

Reviewing code architecture in unfamiliar areas is best handled by zooming out to obtain a high-level map of modules and callers. It abstracts away low-level details to facilitate architecture reviews and cross-team understanding.

How can I onboard new contributors to a complex codebase quickly?▼

Onboarding new contributors to a complex codebase quickly requires generating a high-level map of modules and their dependencies. This approach abstracts away low-level details and uses domain glossary naming to provide context-rich guidance.

Does this approach require a domain glossary to map codebase architecture?▼

A domain glossary is utilized to generate the high-level map of codebase modules and their callers. The glossary provides vocabulary for abstraction and context-rich naming, ensuring the architectural overview is clear and consistent.

When should I zoom out to view codebase dependencies instead of reading code line by line?▼

You should zoom out to view codebase dependencies when exploring new code or evaluating design choices. It provides a high-level map of modules and callers, abstracting away low-level details to help you understand how the codebase fits together.
