What Generate Map is
Generate Map is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”
A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.
Generate Map gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.
How to install Generate Map
Claude Code
- Download generate-map.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
- Run it by typing / followed by its name, with arguments such as [--force].
Claude Cowork
- Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
- In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
- Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

- Identify the tech stack
- Backend framework and language
- Frontend framework (if any)
- Database(s)
- Infrastructure (Docker, K8s, cloud services)
- Key libraries and dependencies
- Map the project structure
- Main folders and their responsibilities
- Entry points and important files
- Configuration locations
- Document the API surface (if applicable)
- Main endpoints grouped by domain
- Authentication method
- Link to OpenAPI/Swagger if available
- Document the database (if applicable)
- Main entities and relationships
- Migration tool and location
- Document the frontend (if applicable)
- Main pages/routes
- Component organization
- State management approach

…Guidelines
- Keep it concise - aim for a document readable in 5 minutes
- Use bullet points and tables
- Link to detailed docs rather than copying content
- Remove any sections that don't apply
- Be accurate - verify information from actual files
After Generation
Report to the user:
- Summary of what was documented
- Any areas that need manual review
- Suggestions for missing documentation
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
