What Map The Landscape does

Map The Landscape builds a mental model of a topic or repository by outlining its boundaries, layers, actors, relationships, flows, and open questions. Use it when you need the big picture, need orientation, or want to understand how the pieces fit together.

Map The Landscape is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Map The Landscape comes from a repository tagged agent, ai, ai-agents, claude-code and claude-code-plugin.

README

Map the Landscape

Build a useful mental model, not an exhaustive catalog. Reveal the structure that makes details make sense: what is inside the boundary, what sits outside it, which relationships matter, how value or data moves, why the landscape looks this way, and where uncertainty remains.
