Skill instructions

Cartographer

Purpose

To create a living document (docs/CODEBASE_MAP.md) that serves as the architectural "Source of Truth" for the project.

Workflow

Phase 1: Reconnaissance
  1. Tree Scan: Execute a file listing command (e.g., find . -maxdepth 2 -not -path '*/.*') to visualize the high-level structure.
  2. Config Check: Read package.json and tsconfig.json to identify the stack.
Phase 2: Iterative Analysis

Exclusion Protocol: You must strictly ignore:

  • Folders in .gitignore (specifically node_modules/, .next/, dist/, build/).
  • Lock files (package-lock.json, yarn.lock).
  • Public assets (public/images/).

Loop: For each relevant major directory (e.g., app/, lib/, components/):

  1. Read the entry point files.
  2. Apply the Inspection Rubric (references/inspection-rubric.md).
  3. Store findings in memory.
Phase 3: Synthesis

Create or Overwrite docs/CODEBASE_MAP.md using the strict template in references/map-template.md.

Critical Constraints

  • Mermaid Diagrams: You MUST generate a Mermaid graph for the high-level architecture.
  • No Fluff: Do not summarize code line-by-line. Focus on intent.
  • Linkage: Every mention of a file in the map must be a clickable relative link.
