zoom-out
Step up one layer of abstraction and surface a map of relevant modules and callers when the local view is too narrow. Trigger when the agent (or user) is unfamiliar with a code region and needs the surrounding architecture before committing to a change.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill zoom-out --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.
Stop reading the local fragment. Climb one level of abstraction and produce a map: which modules surround this region, who calls into it, what it calls out to, and where its invariants live. Dispatch an Explore agent (`fd`-first discovery, then `git grep`/`ast-grep` for call-site enumeration) rather than reading individual files — the goal is structural orientation, not line-level detail. Output is a compact module-and-caller map, not a narrative. Name the surrounding components, the inbound and outbound edges, and any obvious invariant boundaries (transactional scope, ownership, IO surfaces). Stop at one layer up unless the user asks for more — over-zoom dilutes the orientation.
What does the zoom-out skill do?
Step up one layer of abstraction and surface a map of relevant modules and callers when the local view is too narrow. Trigger when the agent (or user) is unfamiliar with a code region and needs the surrounding architecture before committing to a change.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill zoom-out --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
