Mapping Codebases (deprecated)
Use tree-sitting instead.
Why
This skill wrote _MAP.md files to disk — a persisted symbol inventory per
directory, generated once and read many times. That tradeoff made sense when
scanning was expensive. It isn't: tree-sitting parses a 250-file repo in about
700ms and answers queries against the in-memory AST in under a millisecond.
A persisted map costs what a runtime scan does not — it goes stale, it needs regenerating, it gets committed, and it must be excluded from every other tool that walks the tree. Nothing was gained for that.
