authentic
Give agents persistent structural memory of a codebase — navigate dependencies, track public APIs, and understand why connections exist without re-reading the whole repo.
When to use
- The project has a `.dsp/` directory (DSP is already set up)
- The user asks to set up DSP, bootstrap, or map a project's structure
- Creating, modifying, or deleting code files in a DSP-tracked project (to keep the graph updated)
- Navigating project structure, understanding dependencies, or finding specific modules
- The user mentions DSP, dsp-cli, `.dsp`, or structure mapping
- Performing impact analysis before a refactor or dependency replacement
When not to use
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
