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. </objective>

<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- •When STATE.md references outdated codebase info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>
<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>
