What this prompt does

Map architecture, entry points, data flow, and ownership boundaries with repository-aware safeguards. It is designed for codebase map and works best with Current Claude Code model configured for the repository.

Copy-ready prompt

This is a reusable natural-language prompt for Claude Code, not a shell command. Work in the repository at [REPOSITORY_OR_PATH]. Goal: map architecture, entry points, data flow, and ownership boundaries. Context: [CONTEXT]. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]. Definition of done: [ACCEPTANCE_CRITERIA]. Begin read-only. Trace relevant files, tests, configuration, and history before proposing changes. Read applicable CLAUDE.md guidance and use Claude Code’s repository tools and permission model; do not assume an interactive slash command or CLI flag is available. First read the repository instructions and relevant framework documentation. Preserve unrelated user changes. State assumptions, cite files and lines for findings, and ask only when a missing decision would materially change the result. Do not invent APIs, commands, flags, test results, or file contents. Deliver: architecture map and newcomer reading order. Run the repository’s relevant formatting, lint, type, test, and build checks when authorized, and report exact results.

How to use it

Replace the bracketed variables with real context for codebase map. Attach or paste source material when available, and verify consequential facts before acting.
