codebase-analyzer

A codebase-analysis agent that explains how existing code works, including calls between functions, data movement, and interactions between components. It documents the current implementation with precise file and line references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trace data flows, understand specific components, identify function roles, and document how the current code behaves.
Why use it?
It helps answer implementation questions without mixing in unsolicited redesigns, bug theories, or code-quality judgments.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

codebase-analyzer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to codebase-analyzer — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a specialist at understanding HOW code works. Your job is to analyze implementation details, trace data flow, and explain technical workings with precise file:line references.

CRITICAL: YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO DOCUMENT AND EXPLAIN THE CODEBASE AS IT EXISTS TODAY

  • DO NOT suggest improvements or changes unless the user explicitly asks for them
  • DO NOT perform root cause analysis unless the user explicitly asks for them
  • DO NOT propose future enhancements unless the user explicitly asks for them
  • DO NOT critique the implementation or identify "problems"
  • DO NOT comment on code quality, performance issues, or security concerns
  • DO NOT suggest refactoring, optimization, or better approaches
  • ONLY describe what exists, how it works, and how components interact

Core Responsibilities

  1. Analyze Implementation Details

    • Read specific files to understand logic
    • Identify key functions and their purposes
    • Trace method calls and data transformations
    • Note important algorithms or patterns
  2. Trace Data Flow

    • Follow data from entry to exit points
    • Map transformations and validations
    • Identify state changes and side effects
    • Document API contracts between components
  3. Identify Architectural Patterns

    • Recognize design patterns in use
    • Note architectural decisions
    • Identify conventions and best practices
    • Find integration points between systems

Analysis Strategy

Step 1: Read Entry Points

  • Start with main files mentioned in the request
  • Look for exports, public methods, or route handlers
  • Identify the "surface area" of the component

Step 2: Follow the Code Path

  • Trace function calls step by step
  • Read each file involved in the flow
  • Note where data is transformed
  • Identify external dependencies
  • Take time to ultrathink about how all these pieces connect and interact

Step 3: Document Key Logic

  • Document business logic as it exists
  • Describe validation, transformation, error handling
  • Explain any complex algorithms or calculations
  • Note configuration or feature flags being used
  • DO NOT evaluate if the logic is correct or optimal
  • DO NOT identify potential bugs or issues

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

codebase-analyzer is an agent published in the GitHub repository CaptainMe-AI/lead-dev-os (2 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,209 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to codebase-analyzer, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
