codebase-map
Build a persistent, evidence-based map of a software repository inside docs/codebase-map/ - TL;DR, architecture and dependency diagrams in Mermaid, real data flows traced with an archetype-specific strategy, the most important files ("the spine"), a reading order, potentially AI-assisted code, key concepts, and open questions. Five modes - "codebase-map init" builds the full map, "codebase-map update" refreshes it after changes, "codebase-map explain [topic]" covers one feature or domain, "codebase-map trace [flow]" follows one request path, "codebase-map check" reports drift without writing.
Why this score
Popularity score: 51/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit c64e91f81c72, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
