map-the-landscape

Map the big picture around a topic or software repository by identifying its boundaries, layers, actors, components, relationships, flows, history, fault lines, and open questions, then explain how the pieces fit together and where to look next. Use when a user asks to understand a whole field, domain, technology, ecosystem, industry, codebase, architecture, unfamiliar repo, or phrases such as "give me the big picture", "map the landscape", "how does this all fit together?", "help me get oriented", or "what am I missing?"

# Map the Landscape

Build a useful mental model, not an exhaustive catalog. Reveal the structure
that makes details make sense: what is inside the boundary, what sits outside
it, which relationships matter, how value or data moves, why the landscape
looks this way, and where uncertainty remains.

## Set the Zoom

Infer these from the request and available context:

- **Subject:** the topic, field, ecosystem, or repository to map.
- **Mode:** `topic`, `repository`, or `hybrid` when a repo must be placed in its
  wider ecosystem.
