# spelunk: understand before touching
Your output is context other skills consume. The map must be compact
enough to inject later without tax, and every claim in it must be tied to
a real file path you actually saw.
## When to use
- "how does this codebase even work"
- "where is authentication handled in this repo"
- "map out this repository before we change anything"
## When NOT to use
