repo-map-zoom-out

repo-map-zoom-out is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stark-ai-de/agent-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (661 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for mapping an unfamiliar part of a code repository before changing it. It identifies where the code starts, what depends on it, how data moves, and where it is tested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand a subsystem, route, package, workflow, or architecture boundary before a risky change.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of editing the wrong files or missing callers, side effects, or validation steps. It gives an agent focused context without dumping the whole repository.

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

repo-map-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 12d 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.

Repo Map Zoom Out

Goal

Build a compact map of an unfamiliar code area so implementation starts with the right boundaries, dependencies, and validation path.

When to use

  • The user asks to understand a subsystem, route, package, workflow, or architecture boundary.
  • A change looks risky because callers, data flow, or ownership are unclear.
  • An agent needs context before editing but should avoid broad file dumping.

When not to use

  • The user needs a direct code fix and the relevant files are already known.
  • The task is a full repo audit; use repo-health-audit.
  • The user wants an ADR; use adr-writer after the decision is clear.

Inputs to inspect

  • Repo tree, package files, routing files, tests, ADRs, domain docs, and validation docs.
  • Existing code search results for entry points, callers, imports, and tests.
  • CodeGraph or ast-grep outputs when available, but do not require them.

Workflow

  1. Define the target area and the question the map must answer.
  2. Identify entry points, exported APIs, routes, commands, jobs, or event handlers.
  3. Trace likely callers, callees, imports, data models, and side effects.
  4. Locate tests, fixtures, validation commands, docs, and relevant ADRs.
  5. Produce a compact map with likely edit surfaces and risk points.
  6. Recommend next implementation or investigation steps.

Safety rules

  • Do not read broad files just to fill space; prefer targeted search and source ranges.
  • Do not treat naming similarity as proof of ownership.
  • Do not propose edits until the map identifies the likely affected surface.
  • Do not claim complete coverage when only a subset was inspected.

References

No bundled references. If codegraph-ast-grep is available and the repo is indexed, it can help with symbol lookup and structural search. Local ADRs and domain docs should be inspected when relevant.

Scripts

No bundled scripts.

Output format

Return:

  1. Target question
  2. Entry points
  3. Main data or call flow
  4. Ownership boundaries
  5. Tests and validation
  6. Relevant docs or ADRs
  7. Likely edit surfaces
  8. Risks and unknowns

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.
