map-codebase

<objective> Analyze existing codebase using parallel bm-codebase-mapper agents. Each mapper explores a focus area and **writes documents directly** to `.planning/codebase/`; the orchestrator only receives confirmations, keeping context usage minimal.

Output: .planning/codebase/ folder with 7 structured documents about the codebase state. </objective>

<execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/map-codebase.md </execution_context>

<context> Focus area: $ARGUMENTS (optional - if provided, tells agents to focus on specific subsystem)

Load project state if exists: Check for .planning/STATE.md - loads context if project already initialized

This command can run:

• Before /gsd:new-project (brownfield codebases) - creates codebase map first
• After /gsd:new-project (greenfield codebases) - updates codebase map as code evolves
• Anytime to refresh codebase understanding </context>

<when_to_use> Use map-codebase for:

• Brownfield projects before initialization (understand existing code first)
• Refreshing codebase map after significant changes
• Onboarding to an unfamiliar codebase
• Before major refactoring (understand current state)
• When STATE.md references outdated codebase info

Skip map-codebase for:

• Greenfield projects with no code yet (nothing to map)
• Trivial codebases (<5 files) </when_to_use>

<process> 1. Check if .planning/codebase/ already exists (offer to refresh or skip) 2. Create .planning/codebase/ directory structure 3. Spawn 4 parallel bm-codebase-mapper agents: - Agent 1: tech focus → writes STACK.md, INTEGRATIONS.md - Agent 2: arch focus → writes ARCHITECTURE.md, STRUCTURE.md - Agent 3: quality focus → writes CONVENTIONS.md, TESTING.md - Agent 4: concerns focus → writes CONCERNS.md 4. Wait for agents to complete, collect confirmations (NOT document contents) 5. Verify all 7 documents exist with line counts 6. Commit codebase map 7. Offer next steps (typically: /gsd:new-project or /gsd:plan-phase) </process>

<success_criteria>

• .planning/codebase/ directory created
• All 7 codebase documents written by mapper agents
• Documents follow template structure
• Parallel agents completed without errors
• User knows next steps </success_criteria>
