언제 쓸까: Day one in a repo you've never seen; you want a map before making changes.
흐름
-
Build the mapUse nexus-skills to scan this repo and build .nexus-map/.✓ 복사됨→ Progress output + map files produced
-
Get the tourUsing .nexus-map, tell me: entry points, top 10 most-imported modules, and any orphaned files.✓ 복사됨→ Repo overview keyed to actual files
-
Dig into a subsystemShow me the payments subsystem — files, dependencies, external calls.✓ 복사됨→ Scoped subsystem view
결과: A factual mental model of the repo built in under an hour.
함정
