SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Step up one layer of abstraction and produce a map of the relevant modules and their callers — used when you (or the agent) are stuck in one file and losing the bigger picture. Use when user says "zoom out", "give me a map", "I'm lost in this code", or "what calls this".

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produces a compact modules-and-callers map using architecture-language vocabulary.
  • Identifies module dependencies and callers to provide orientation in large codebases.
  • Use case: when debugging a single file and needing a broader context without changing code.

Quick Start

Generate a high-level map of the current code area to regain bearings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a module map when I am lost in a large codebase?▼

To generate a module map when lost in a large codebase, use this Skill to step up one layer of abstraction. It produces a deterministic, non-editing map of modules, callers, and dependencies to restore your broader context.

What is the best way to understand code architecture across different programming languages?▼

Understanding code architecture across different languages is achieved by mapping the module landscape and their callers using architecture-language vocabulary. It provides a high-level view applicable across languages without proposing modifications.

Can I see what calls a specific module without modifying my source code?▼

Yes, you can see what calls a specific module without modifying source code. The Skill produces a deterministic, read-only map of module dependencies and callers, ensuring your code remains unchanged while you regain your bearings.

When should I use a call graph tool instead of manually reading files?▼

You should use a call graph tool when you are stuck debugging a single file and losing the bigger picture. It helps you step up an abstraction layer to identify module dependencies and callers for larger-scale understanding.

Does this code understanding tool require any specific dependencies or components to run?▼

No specific dependencies or components are required to run this code understanding tool. It operates independently to map the module landscape and summarize callers using architecture-language vocabulary across any codebase.
