Each mapper agent 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.

<execution_context> @/Users/clarence/kova-app/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/map-codebase.md </execution_context>

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

<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When STATE.md references outdated codebase info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>

<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>
