What setup-codemap-cli does

The skill verifies whether codemap is installed via codemap -help and runs the appropriate Homebrew or Scoop installation if it is missing. Once the binary is present, it tests the CLI with codemap . before editing any project files.

It prompts you to pick one of three storage levels: shared project config in CLAUDE.md, local untracked rules in CLAUDE.local.md, or global user settings under ~/.claude/. The workflow writes navigation instructions into the markdown file, explains flags like --diff or --deps, and adds .codemap/ to .gitignore.

For automated context, the assistant registers hooks inside settings.json. The default session-start hook inspects branch changes and git status immediately when a session begins. Without Homebrew or Scoop available in your terminal, automatic binary installation will fail.

What it helps with

  • install Codemap CLI across macOS, Linux, or Windows
  • inject codebase navigation rules into CLAUDE.md
  • configure lifecycle hooks to track Git status and diffs on session start
  • inspect file importers and dependency flows during edits

Example prompts for the agent

  • Set up Codemap CLI for this repository
  • Install Codemap CLI and add hooks to my global ~/.claude/settings.json
  • Run setup-codemap-cli using local untracked settings in CLAUDE.local.md
