context-map

by github

Analyze codebases and map task-relevant files before implementing changes. Automatically searches for related files, dependencies, tests, and similar code patterns to establish full context Generates structured markdown output with files to modify, dependency relationships, test coverage, and reference patterns Includes risk assessment checklist for breaking changes, migrations, and configuration updates Designed as a pre-implementation step to prevent missed dependencies and unintended side... npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill context-map Download ZIPGitHub36.2k

Context Map

Before implementing any changes, analyze the codebase and create a context map.

Task

{{task_description}}

Instructions

• Search the codebase for files related to this task

• Identify direct dependencies (imports/exports)

• Find related tests

• Look for similar patterns in existing code

Output Format

## Context Map

### Files to Modify
| File | Purpose | Changes Needed |
|------|---------|----------------|
| path/to/file | description | what changes |

### Dependencies (may need updates)
| File | Relationship |
|------|--------------|
| path/to/dep | imports X from modified file |

### Test Files
| Test | Coverage |
|------|----------|
| path/to/test | tests affected functionality |

### Reference Patterns
| File | Pattern |
|------|---------|
| path/to/similar | example to follow |

### Risk Assessment
- [ ] Breaking changes to public API
- [ ] Database migrations needed
- [ ] Configuration changes required

Do not proceed with implementation until this map is reviewed.
