zoom-out

Create a grounded map of an unfamiliar code area before diving into implementation or detailed explanation.

Decision Tree

What is the user asking for?

• "Zoom out", "go up a layer", "map the relevant modules and callers", "who calls this", or similar orientation language Use this skill. Produce a code context map before making recommendations.

• A specific symbol, file, route, job, table, command, event, or component is named Run the inventory helper when possible, then trace direct callers, direct callees, entrypoints, and boundary crossings.

• A feature or subsystem is named, but no concrete entrypoint is obvious Find likely entrypoints first: routes, commands, jobs, public exports, UI screens, handlers, tests, migrations, and package manifests.

• The user asks "how does this work?" and wants teaching, not just orientation Build the map first if the area is unfamiliar, then use {{ skill:eli12 }} for the final teaching-style explanation.
