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 |

    Risk Assessment

    • [ ] Breaking changes to public API
    • [ ] Database migrations needed
    • [ ] Configuration changes required

    Do not proceed with implementation until this map is reviewed.
