SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you encounter an unfamiliar section of a codebase, it is hard to understand how it fits into the bigger picture. This Skill prompts the agent to step back one layer of abstraction and explain the surrounding architecture instead of diving into line-level details. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Broader Context: Shifts the agent's focus from local code details to a higher-level architectural perspective. - Module and Caller Mapping: Produces a map of all relevant modules and their callers so you can see relationships at a glance. - Domain Vocabulary: Uses the project's domain glossary terminology so explanations match how your team talks about the system. - Use Case: You open a legacy service you have never touched and need to understand which modules call it and what it depends on before making a change. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to zoom out on this code and map the relevant modules and callers using the project's domain vocabulary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand an unfamiliar part of a codebase quickly?▼

Ask the agent to zoom out one layer of abstraction and map the relevant modules and callers. This gives you an architectural overview of how the code connects to the rest of the system before you read individual lines.

How to get a high-level overview of code instead of line-by-line explanation?▼

Request a zoomed-out perspective that focuses on module relationships and callers rather than implementation details. The agent describes the bigger picture using the project's domain glossary vocabulary.

When should I use a zoom-out approach versus reading code directly?▼

Use zoom-out when you are unfamiliar with an area and need architectural context first. Reading code directly works better once you already understand the module boundaries and just need specific implementation details.

What are the limitations of a high-level code overview?▼

A high-level overview omits implementation details, edge cases, and exact control flow. It is a starting point for orientation, not a substitute for reading the actual code when making precise changes.
