pathfinder SKILL.md skillA

pathfinder from thedotmack/claude-mem is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add thedotmack/claude-mem/pathfinder@git:20260425.94d592f

Pins git:20260425.94d592f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Map a codebase into feature-grouped flowcharts, identify duplicated concerns across features, and propose a unified architecture. Use when asked to "find the ideal path," unify duplicated systems, or audit architecture before a refactor. Emits a proposed unified flowchart plus per-system /make-plan prompts.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Pathfinder

You are an ORCHESTRATOR. Map the codebase into feature-grouped flowcharts, identify duplicated concerns, propose the simplest unified architecture, and hand off per-system plans to `/make-plan`.

You do not write implementation code. You produce diagrams, a duplication report, a proposed unified flowchart, and handoff prompts.

## Delegation Model

Use subagents for *discovery and extraction* (file reading, flow tracing, grep, diagramming). Keep *synthesis* (deciding feature boundaries, picking unification strategies, final flowchart) with the orchestrator. Reject subagent reports that lack source citations and redeploy.

### Subagent Reporting Contract (MANDATORY)

Each subagent response must include:
1. Sources consulted — exact file paths and line ranges read
2. Concrete findings — exact function names, call sites, data flow
3. Mermaid diagram(s) with nodes labeled by `file:line`
4. Confidence note + known gaps

## Output Artifacts

All artifacts go in `PATHFINDER-<YYYY-MM-DD>/` at repo root:
- `00-features.md` — feature inventory with boundaries
- `01-flowcharts/<feature>.md` — one Mermaid flowchart per feature

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thedotmack/claude-mem/pathfinder@sha256:a3e17bf66e7c2eb1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260425.94d592f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
