Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/shoootyou/get-shit-done-multi --skill gsd-map-codebase- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads gsd-map-codebase automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
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. </objective>
<execution_context> @{{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/get-shit-done/workflows/map-codebase.md </execution_context>
<context> Focus area: $ARGUMENTS (optional - if provided, tells agents to focus on specific subsystem)Load project state if exists: Check for .planning/STATE.md - loads context if project already initialized
This command can run:
- Before {{COMMAND_PREFIX}}new-project (brownfield codebases) - creates codebase map first
- After {{COMMAND_PREFIX}}new-project (greenfield codebases) - updates codebase map as code evolves
- Anytime to refresh codebase understanding </context>
<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- When STATE.md references outdated codebase info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>
