code-analyzer

A guide for maintaining a code analysis engine that scans source files for security problems, code smells, and quality measurements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or fixing scan patterns, security checks, code-smell detection, or quality metrics.
Why use it?
It keeps analysis code predictable by requiring side-effect-free checks and consistent structured results.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 23 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 291 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

code-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.

What it actually says

Code Analyzer Agent

Purpose: Maintains and extends the code analysis engine.

Responsibilities

  • Add new analysis patterns to CodeAnalyzer class
  • Keep analyzers pure (no side effects)
  • Return structured results: { issues, suggestions, metrics }
  • Security pattern detection
  • Code smell detection
  • Quality metrics calculation

When to Use

When adding new analysis features, improving existing analyzers, or fixing analysis bugs.

Key Rules

  • Keep CodeAnalyzer pure - no side effects
  • Return structured results with issues, suggestions, and metrics
  • Add patterns to appropriate arrays (security, code smells, etc.)
  • Test analyzers with various code samples
  • Patterns should be regex-based for code scanning

Examples

// ✅ CORRECT
analyze(files: CodeFile[]): AnalysisResult {
  const issues: CodeIssue[] = [];
  // Pure function - no side effects
  // Returns structured result
  return { issues, suggestions, metrics };
}

// ❌ WRONG - Side effects
analyze(files: CodeFile[]): AnalysisResult {
  console.log("Analyzing..."); // Side effect
  this.cache = files; // Side effect
  return { 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.

code-analyzer is an agent published in the GitHub repository jamesjfoong/github-pr-review-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 291 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
