SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When you are unfamiliar with part of a codebase, the skill helps you quickly find the bigger picture so you can understand how the area fits into the overall system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Higher-level abstraction: Reframes a narrow, confusing code area into an appropriate layer of understanding.
  • Module and caller mapping: Produces a map of relevant modules and how they are called to explain integration points.
  • Domain-glossary alignment: Uses the project’s domain glossary vocabulary so the resulting explanation matches shared terms.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to zoom out on the code by telling it: Tell me what this area of the codebase is responsible for and map the relevant modules and callers using our domain vocabulary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get higher-level context for unfamiliar code areas?

To get higher-level context for unfamiliar code areas, you can map module relationships and caller integration points using the project's domain glossary vocabulary to reframe confusing logic into a broader system perspective.

What is the best way to map module relationships for code comprehension?

The best way to map module relationships for code comprehension is to generate a caller map that translates narrow code sections into higher-level abstractions aligned with the project's domain vocabulary.

How does domain glossary alignment help with understanding a codebase?

Domain glossary alignment helps with understanding a codebase by ensuring the generated module and caller maps use shared project terminology, making integration points and architectural responsibilities easier to grasp.

Can I use module mapping for refactoring planning and onboarding?

Yes, you can use module mapping for refactoring planning and onboarding. It applies a shared contract to map how relevant modules relate and are called, providing project-wide context for diagnosis and general code comprehension.

When do I need to zoom out for architecture-level code context?

You need to zoom out for architecture-level code context when you are unfamiliar with part of a codebase and must quickly find the bigger picture to understand how a specific area fits into the overall system.

Does generating a caller map require any specific project setup?

Generating a caller map requires using the project's shared contract and domain glossary vocabulary. It does not depend on external dependencies, but it needs the project's domain terms to accurately map module relationships.
