SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creates a high-level map of a codebase showing modules and callers to accelerate onboarding and architectural understanding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase overview: generates a module-call graph.
  • Context-aware glossary: uses project glossary to name components consistently.
  • Onboarding aid: helps new engineers orient themselves quickly.

Quick Start

Summarize the codebase by generating a module-call map for the current project.

Frequently Asked Questions about zoom-out

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a high-level architecture map of a large codebase?▼

To generate a codebase architecture map, this Skill parses the repository structure and produces a structured, human-readable module-caller map. It identifies modules and their callers to accelerate architectural understanding.

What is the best way to onboard new engineers to a complex software architecture?▼

Onboarding new engineers to a complex architecture requires a high-level map of the codebase. This Skill generates a module-call graph that helps new team members orient themselves quickly by showing how different components interact.

Can I analyze a codebase and create a module-caller map across different language stacks?▼

Yes, you can analyze a codebase across different language stacks to create a module-caller map. The Skill is applicable across various language stacks and large repositories during architecture reviews.

How do you plan refactoring using a codebase overview?▼

Planning refactoring with a codebase overview involves analyzing the module-call graph to identify dependencies and callers. This Skill provides a high-level map of your codebase to support refactoring planning and architecture reviews.

Does the module-caller map use project glossary terms for naming components?▼

Yes, the module-caller map integrates with your project glossary to name components consistently. This context-aware approach ensures the generated codebase overview uses your domain-specific terminology.

What are the limitations of using a module-call graph for architecture reviews?▼

A module-call graph for architecture reviews provides a high-level map of your codebase but focuses on modules and their callers. It is designed for architectural understanding and onboarding rather than detailed line-by-line code analysis.
