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 - Architectural Overview: Produces a map of all relevant modules and callers related to the code you are examining. - Domain Vocabulary: Frames the explanation using the project's own domain glossary terms so the map matches team language. - Use Case: You open a function in a large repository you have never worked on. Invoke this Skill to get a higher-level explanation of which modules call it, which it depends on, and how it fits the overall system before making changes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to zoom out and map the modules and callers around the code you are currently viewing.

FAQPage Schema

How do I understand unfamiliar code in a large codebase?▼

Ask the agent to zoom out one layer of abstraction and map the relevant modules and callers around the code. This gives architectural context before you read line-level implementation details.

How to get a high-level overview of a code module?▼

Invoke the zoom-out skill while viewing the code in question. The agent responds with a map of related modules and their callers, expressed in the project's domain glossary vocabulary.

When should I use zoom-out instead of reading the code directly?▼

Use it when you are unfamiliar with an area of code and need the bigger picture first. It is less useful when you already know the architecture and only need a specific implementation detail.

Does zoom-out modify or analyze code automatically?▼

No. It is a prompt-only skill with no scripts; it instructs the agent to produce a broader contextual explanation. It does not change files or run analysis tooling.
