How to ask with this skill installed
Installing the skill gives your AI a method. Your request still has to provide the case-specific facts, constraints and expected output.
1Name the real task
Describe the decision or deliverable, not just the topic.
2Provide the evidence
Add source material, audience, limits and known facts.
3Define done
Set format, quality criteria and checks.

When to use it
- Mapping call paths from user input to sensitive functions
- Finding complexity hotspots for audit prioritization
- Identifying attack surface and entrypoints
- Understanding call relationships in unfamiliar codebases
- Security review or audit preparation across polyglot projects
- Adding LLM-inferred annotations (assumptions, preconditions) to code units
- Pre-analysis before mutation testing (genotoxic skill) or diagramming
When not to use it
- Single-file scripts where call graph adds no value (read the file directly)
- Architecture diagrams not derived from code (use the
diagramming-codeskill or draw by hand) - Mutation testing triage (use the genotoxic skill, which calls trailmark internally)
- Runtime behavior analysis (trailmark is static, not dynamic)
