Zoom Out

Skills

Step back and see how unfamiliar code fits together.

From Matt Pocock's skills. When you are lost in a section of code, your agent zooms out and explains the broader context: how the piece fits into the rest of the system.

Install this skill

npx skills add https://github.com/mattpocock/skills --skill zoom-out

Runs the open-source skills CLI in your own terminal. It asks which agents to add the skill to. Read what it tells your agent to do before you install it.
