SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Map the surrounding architecture of a code region by listing modules, callers, callees, and invariants. This skill uses an Explore-based approach (fd-first discovery, then git grep/ast-grep) to enumerate relationships rather than reading files line-by-line, delivering a compact module-and-caller map.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produce a compact map of surrounding components, inbound and outbound edges, and invariants to orient the local region.
  • Help engineers quickly understand cross-boundary ownership and IO surfaces before making changes.
  • Use across typical software projects to understand architecture around a code region and inform decisions.

Quick Start

Dispatch an Explore agent to climb one abstraction layer and generate a module-and-caller map for the focused region.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map the surrounding architecture of a code region before making changes?▼

To map the surrounding architecture of a code region, you can enumerate modules, callers, callees, and invariants to get structural context. This delivers a compact module-and-caller map without reading files line-by-line.

What is the best way to understand cross-boundary ownership and IO surfaces in a software project?▼

Understanding cross-boundary ownership and IO surfaces requires a compact map of surrounding components and inbound/outbound edges. This approach helps engineers quickly orient the local region before modifications.

How do I generate a module map using ast-grep and git grep without reading entire files?▼

Generating a module map without line-level file reading uses an Explore agent that applies fd-first discovery, then git grep and ast-grep to enumerate edges and invariants, delivering a compact structural context.

Can I use this approach to analyze the caller and callee relationships across typical software projects?▼

Yes, you can use this approach across typical software projects to analyze caller and callee relationships. It dispatches an Explore agent to climb one abstraction layer and generate a structural map of the focused region.

Does zoom-out require specific dependencies to enumerate code invariants and call graphs?▼

No, zoom-out requires no specific dependencies to enumerate code invariants and call graphs. It operates directly on your software project using standard search and discovery tools.

When should I not use a call graph exploration approach for code analysis?▼

You should not use a call graph exploration approach when you need line-level file reading or specific implementation details rather than structural context, as this method focuses on enumerating edges and invariants at the module level.
