About this skill

Analyze codebase with parallel mapper agents to produce .planning/codebase/ documents

The instructions your AI receives, as published by buildomator/buildomator in skills/map-codebase/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

Output: .planning/codebase/ folder with 7 structured documents about the codebase state.

<execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/map-codebase.md </execution_context>

Load project state if exists: Check for .planning/STATE.md - loads context if project already initialized

This command can run:

Before /gsd:new-project (brownfield codebases) - creates codebase map first
After /gsd:new-project (greenfield codebases) - updates codebase map as code evolves
Anytime to refresh codebase understanding
