SKILL.md

Each mapper agent explores a focus area and writes documents directly to .planning/codebase/. The orchestrator only receives confirmations, keeping context usage minimal.

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

<execution_context> @.github/get-shit-done/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

<when_to_use> Use map-codebase for:

  • Brownfield projects before initialization (understand existing code first)
  • Refreshing codebase map after significant changes
  • Onboarding to an unfamiliar codebase
  • Before major refactoring (understand current state)
  • When STATE.md references outdated codebase info

Skip map-codebase for:

  • Greenfield projects with no code yet (nothing to map)
  • Trivial codebases (<5 files) </when_to_use>

<success_criteria>

  • .planning/codebase/ directory created
  • All 7 codebase documents written by mapper agents
  • Documents follow template structure
  • Parallel agents completed without errors
  • User knows next steps </success_criteria>
