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> @{{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/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 {{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
<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When STATE.md references outdated codebase info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>
