Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

From the SKILL.md

<objective> Analyze existing codebase using parallel gsd-codebase-mapper agents to produce structured codebase documents. 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>

About this skill
What does the gsd:map-codebase skill do?

Analyze codebase with parallel mapper agents to produce .planning/codebase/ documents

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill map-codebase --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From davepoon/buildwithclaude, a repository with 3,251 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
