# Repo Atlas

A [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) skill that builds a **persistent context system** for any git repository — so engineers and LLM agents can understand your codebase fast with minimal searching.

Built by [@cathrynlavery](https://twitter.com/cathrynlavery) at [founder.codes](https://founder.codes)

## What It Does

Run `/repo-atlas` in any project and it will:

1. **Auto-generate** a repo map with directory tree, entrypoints, file stats, and changelog
2. **Guide you** through writing architecture, domain model, critical flows, state sources, gotchas, and test docs
3. **Add an agent on-ramp** to your `CLAUDE.md` with a two-agent workflow (plan + verify)
4. **Create build targets** (`make atlas-generate` / `make atlas-check`) for CI integration

The result is a `docs/atlas/` folder with 10 structured docs that any engineer or AI agent can load for instant context.

## Pair With Codex

After generating your atlas, use the [Codex skill](https://github.com/cathrynlavery/codex-skill) to get a second opinion. Codex will independently review your atlas docs for accuracy, gaps, and missed gotchas — giving you an automated quality check powered by OpenAI Codex.

```
/repo-atlas          # Build the atlas
/codex Review my atlas docs for accuracy and completeness
```

## Supports

**Languages:** Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust, Swift, Java, Kotlin, C/C++, C#, PHP, Elixir, Dart

**Build systems:** npm, Cargo, Go modules, pip/pyproject, Gradle, Maven, XcodeGen, SPM, Bundler, CMake, Bazel, Earthly

**CI:** GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, Travis, Azure Pipelines, Bitbucket Pipelines, Cloud Build, CodeBuild

## Install

Copy the skill into your Claude Code skills directory:

```bash
# Clone and copy
git clone https://github.com/cathrynlavery/repo-atlas.git
cp -r repo-atlas ~/.agents/skills/repo-atlas

# Or just copy the directory manually
```

Then in any project, say `/repo-atlas` or "map this repo" or "create atlas docs".
