Are the generated codemaps optimized for AI use?

Yes, the skill focuses on 'token-lean' generation, ensuring the maps are concise enough to fit into AI context windows while remaining highly informative.

What documentation files does this skill create?

It generates four specific markdown files in a codemaps directory: architecture.md, backend.md, frontend.md, and data.md.

What technology does the analysis engine use?

The skill utilizes a TypeScript/Node.js-based analysis approach to scan file exports and module dependencies.

Where can I see the history of documentation changes?

Detailed reports of architectural diffs and change percentages are saved to the .reports/codemap-diff.txt file.

How does it handle large changes to the codebase?

If the skill detects a structural change of more than 30%, it will automatically request user approval before overwriting the existing documentation.

Learning & Documentation

Analyzes codebase structure and automatically updates architectural documentation with dependency tracking and change diffs.

The Update Codemaps skill is a powerful documentation assistant for Claude Code that synchronizes your technical architecture with your actual source code. It performs deep scans of imports, exports, and dependencies to generate token-lean architectural maps across four key domains: overall architecture, backend, frontend, and data schemas. By calculating structural diffs and requiring manual approval for major changes (over 30%), it ensures your project documentation remains a reliable source of truth without manual maintenance. This skill is ideal for teams needing to maintain high-level system visibility and streamline the onboarding process for new developers.
