/map-codebase
Bootstrap LID in an existing (brownfield) codebase. Reads every file in scope, proposes lens-based clusterings, walks the user through reconciliation, generates skeleton LLDs/HLD/EARS and the arrow overlay, then prompts the user to flesh out the skeletons. Token-intensive by

Command definition
map-codebase.mdname: map-codebase description: Bootstrap LID in an existing (brownfield) codebase. Reads every file in scope, proposes lens-based clusterings, walks the user through reconciliation, generates skeleton LLDs/HLD/EARS and the arrow overlay, then prompts the user to flesh out the skeletons. Token-intensive by design.
Invoke the `map-codebase` skill. Warns upfront about token intensity; asks the user for scope and optional subagent parallelism; runs a six-phase flow ending in `/update-lid` (terminal CLAUDE.md configuration) + a flesh-out prompt. See `plugins/arrow-maintenance/skills/map-codebase/SKILL.md` for the full behavior and Five Critical Rules.
A structured design-before-code methodology for agentic coding. Stop building the wrong thing — get alignment on what before writing how. Works with any coding agent that reads per-project instructions.

Other commands on lid.
- /arrow-maintenance
Run an audit-and-update pass on the docs/arrows/ overlay. Dispatches on project state — audits an existing overlay, bootstraps the overlay from existing LID docs, or redirects to /map-codebase or /linked-intent-dev for projects without LID.
Open command - /differential-audit
Audit EARS↔code coherence via a bidirectional differential. With no arguments, opens a scoping conversation that interprets what the user wants audited, maps it to arrows, and captures an explicit EARS selection. With one or more EARS IDs, audits those specs directly using
