SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps engineers and teams quickly gain a high-level understanding of unfamiliar code by generating a domain-level map of modules and their callers, using the project glossary vocabulary to ensure consistent terminology.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a top-down map of code modules and their interaction callers.
  • Align findings to the project's domain glossary for consistency.
  • Facilitate onboarding and architecture reviews by providing a big-picture view.

Quick Start

Ask your AI assistant to produce a domain-level map of the repository, listing modules and their callers using the project's glossary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a high-level architecture map of unfamiliar code for onboarding?

A code map provides a high-level view of unfamiliar code areas by generating a domain-level map of modules and their callers. It aligns findings to the project's domain glossary, ensuring consistent terminology and a big-picture view.

What is the best way to map call graphs across services using a domain glossary?

The best way to map call graphs across services is to apply a zoom-out technique that generates a domain-level map of modules and callers. This anchors the code structure to your project's domain glossary, ensuring consistent terminology across services.

Can I generate a domain-level map of modules for architecture reviews without deep code knowledge?

Yes, you can generate a domain-level map of modules and their interaction callers without deep code knowledge. This technique facilitates architecture reviews by providing a big-picture view of the system using the project's domain glossary vocabulary.

How do I explore new modules in a codebase I have never seen before?

To explore new modules in an unfamiliar codebase, you can apply a zoom-out technique to gain broader context. This generates a top-down map of code modules and their interaction callers, anchored to the project's domain glossary for consistent terminology.

Does generating a code map require any specific dependencies or components?

Generating a code map using this approach requires no specific dependencies or components. You can ask your AI assistant to produce a domain-level map of the repository, listing modules and their callers using the project's glossary.
