Context Map

Before implementing any changes, analyze the codebase and create a context map.

Task

{{task_description}}

Instructions

  1. Search the codebase for files related to this task
  2. Identify direct dependencies (imports/exports)
  3. Find related tests
  4. Look for similar patterns in existing code

Output Format

## Context Map

### Files to Modify
| File | Purpose | Changes Needed |
|------|---------|----------------|
| path/to/file | description | what changes |

### Dependencies (may need updates)
| File | Relationship |
|------|--------------|
| path/to/dep | imports X from modified file |

### Test Files
| Test | Coverage |
|------|----------|
| path/to/test | tests affected functionality |

### Reference Patterns
| File | Pattern |
|------|---------|
| path/to/similar | example to follow |

### Risk Assessment
- [ ] Breaking changes to public API
- [ ] Database migrations needed
- [ ] Configuration changes required

Do not proceed with implementation until this map is reviewed.

    I recommend context-map for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.

  • ★★★★★Kiara Jackson· Dec 24, 2024

    Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: context-map is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.

  • ★★★★★Michael Robinson· Dec 12, 2024

    context-map is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.

  • ★★★★★Pratham Ware· Dec 8, 2024

    Useful defaults in context-map — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.

    Keeps context tight: context-map is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.

    We added context-map from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
