gsd:scan
Rapid codebase assessment — lightweight alternative to /gsd:map-codebase
Profile →npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill scan --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
<objective> Run a focused codebase scan for a single area, producing targeted documents in `.planning/codebase/`. Accepts an optional `--focus` flag: `tech`, `arch`, `quality`, `concerns`, or `tech+arch` (default). Lightweight alternative to `/gsd:map-codebase` — spawns one mapper agent instead of four parallel ones. </objective> <execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/scan.md </execution_context> <process> Execute the scan workflow from @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/scan.md end-to-end. </process>
What does the gsd:scan skill do?
Rapid codebase assessment — lightweight alternative to /gsd:map-codebase
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill scan --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.
