zoom-out

zoom-out is a skill for Claude Code from MithunWijayasiri/dotclaude. It costs 39 tokens per session (348 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase-mapping tool for understanding an unfamiliar area before changing it. It traces modules, callers, data flow, boundaries, dependencies, side effects, and relevant tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map entry points, imports, APIs, storage, runtime boundaries, tests, risks, and the flow through a feature or module before explaining or modifying it.
Why use it?
It gives you a verified high-level picture instead of relying on assumptions when you enter an unfamiliar code area. It also separates known facts from unknowns and does not edit files.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

zoom-out scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 19d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Zoom Out

Create an architectural map before explaining or changing an unfamiliar code area.

Workflow

  1. Identify requested area and nearest entry points.
  2. Read relevant project instructions, glossary, architecture notes, and package configuration.
  3. Trace imports, callers, message or data flow, and important side effects.
  4. Inspect related tests and build/runtime boundaries.
  5. Separate verified facts from assumptions and unknowns.
  6. Do not edit files, run mutating commands, or propose implementation details until the map is complete.

Response

Use concise labeled sections:

  • Purpose: What the area does and why it exists.
  • Map: Relevant modules and responsibilities.
  • Flow: Control or data movement through the area.
  • Callers: Important entry points and consumers.
  • Boundaries: Browser, process, API, storage, build, or module boundaries.
  • Dependencies: External services, shared utilities, configuration, and contracts.
  • Tests: Relevant coverage and what it verifies.
  • Risks: Coupling, side effects, fragile assumptions, or likely change points.
  • Unknowns: Questions the codebase does not answer.
  • Summary: One short mental model of the area.

Use project glossary and established names. Cite file paths and symbols for non-obvious claims. Keep unrelated modules out of the map.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
