Auto Map

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Auto Map skill fit in?

Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Auto Map is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.

Generate and refresh the project's CONTEXT ARCHITECTURE — a disclosure-tiered map so the agent starts every session knowing the repo without paying for what it doesn't need. Platform-aware by explicit contract (claude|codex|dual): for Claude a lean root CLAUDE.md (loads always), path-scoped .claude/rules/*.md (load only when touching matching files), nested CLAUDE.md throughout the tree (loaded on demand — zero cost until then); for Codex the root + nested AGENTS.md tree instead — never inventing a memory location the platform lacks, never touching private agent memory. Deep references are LINKED, never imported. Every claim is VERIFIED against the real repo before it ships (commands actually run; paths actually exist) — the map cannot lie. Use to initialize project context, refresh it after meaningful changes, or as the pipeline's final phase so the map reflects what just shipped.

From the source SKILL.md

<EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT> This skill mutates durable project memory — the files every future session trusts. Non-negotiable: 1. VERIFIED, NEVER INVENTED. Every path, export, route, and command in the map is checked against the repo before writing; every build/test command is actually EXECUTED (or explicitly marked unverified). A stale or invented map is worse than none — it poisons every future session. 2. DISCLOSURE-TIERED BY CONSTRUCTION. Root CLAUDE.md ≤150 lines (loads every session). Topic depth goes in path-scoped .claude/rules/.md (loads only when matching files are touched) and a nested…
