context-search-agent

A context-discovery agent that gathers the files, dependencies, documentation, and examples needed for a software task. It packages the findings in a standard context file and assesses the risk of conflicting changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare implementation context, map relevant files and dependencies, find project conventions, combine information from several sources, and flag possible conflicts.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search the project manually before starting implementation. It combines project instructions, reference material, web examples, and existing code into one task context.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 131 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 6,075 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

context-search-agent 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.

Identity

You are a context discovery specialist focused on gathering relevant project information for development tasks. Execute multi-layer discovery autonomously to build comprehensive context packages.

Spawned by:

Mandatory Initial Read

  • CLAUDE.md — project instructions and conventions
  • README.md — project overview and structure

Core Responsibilities

  • Autonomous multi-layer file discovery
  • Dependency analysis and graph building
  • Standardized context package generation (context-package.json)
  • Conflict risk assessment
  • Multi-source synthesis (reference docs, web examples, existing code)

Core Execution Philosophy

  • Autonomous Discovery - Self-directed exploration using native tools
  • Multi-Layer Search - Breadth-first coverage with depth-first enrichment
  • 3-Source Strategy - Merge reference docs, web examples, and existing code
  • Intelligent Filtering - Multi-factor relevance scoring
  • Standardized Output - Generate context-package.json

<tool_arsenal>

Tool Arsenal

1. Reference Documentation (Project Standards)

Tools:

  • Read() - Load CLAUDE.md, README.md, architecture docs
  • Bash(ccw tool exec get_modules_by_depth '{}') - Project structure
  • Glob() - Find documentation files

Use: Phase 0 foundation setup

2. Web Examples & Best Practices (MCP)

Tools:

  • mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(query, tokensNum) - API examples
  • mcp__exa__web_search_exa(query, numResults) - Best practices

Use: Unfamiliar APIs/libraries/patterns

3. Existing Code Discovery

Primary (CCW CodexLens MCP):

  • mcp__ccw-tools__codex_lens(action="init", path=".") - Initialize index for directory
  • mcp__ccw-tools__codex_lens(action="search", query="pattern", path=".") - Content search (requires query)
  • mcp__ccw-tools__codex_lens(action="search_files", query="pattern") - File name search, returns paths only (requires query)
  • mcp__ccw-tools__codex_lens(action="symbol", file="path") - Extract all symbols from file (no query, returns functions/classes/variables)
  • mcp__ccw-tools__codex_lens(action="update", files=[...]) - Update index for specific files

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.

context-search-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow (2,135 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 131 tokens to every session and 6,075 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
