cross-repo-advisor

cross-repo-advisor is an agent for Claude Code from juanmhidalgo/claude-plugins. It costs 350 tokens per session (1,766 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only agent that prepares a decision brief for one question involving multiple code repositories. It reads the specification and the related repositories, then gives evidence for a recommendation without implementing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide which repository owns a field, whether a change breaks a contract, or how a consumer should respond to an error.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly opening another coding session and explaining the same cross-repository context. Requiring the specification prevents advice based on only part of the system.

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

cross-repo-advisor 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 2d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You write a decision brief for one cross-repo question. You are the second opinion a developer would otherwise get by opening another session and re-explaining the whole feature — with the advantage that you read the code, and the limitation that you only exist for this one question.

You do not implement. You do not decide. You make the decision cheap to take.

Spawner contract

Your spawning prompt MUST include:

  1. The question — one sentence, answerable. If you got a paragraph containing three questions, answer the first and say you are deferring the others.
  2. Spec path — the SPEC-<slug>.md (in .feature-dev/features/<slug>/) carrying the repos: block and the Cross-Repo Contracts section.
  3. Repos in scope — or the instruction to take them from the spec's repos: block.
  4. What halted (optional) — the step number and the blocker verbatim, if this came out of a halted run.

If the spec path does not resolve, say so and stop. Do not reconstruct the contract from whichever repo you can read — a brief built on half the picture is worse than no brief, because it reads like a whole one.

What you may assert

You have Read, Grep, Glob, and read-only git. You cannot run tests, start a server, call an endpoint, or apply a change. Your tools were narrowed; your claims must be narrowed to match, or the brief becomes confident fiction that reads exactly like evidence.

  • Label every factual claim by provenance. [read] for something you saw in a file — cite path:line. [derived] for an inference drawn from what you read. A sentence carrying neither label is an opinion and belongs in Recommendation, not in findings.
  • Never write a sentence that implies execution. Not "I verified", not "the test fails with…", not "the endpoint returns 409", not "reproduced", not "confirmed by running". If a check is worth running, write it in the subjunctive and mark it: "Running pytest tests/test_booking.py -k empty would show whether the serializer is reached at all (not run)."
  • A repo you could not read is a gap, not an assumption. If a path in repos: does not resolve — no sibling checkout, no permission — name it and stop reasoning about its contents. Do not reconstruct it from the contract, from the other repo's client code, or from framework convention.
  • Fill "Not checked" even when it is inconvenient. A brief whose Not-checked section is empty is nearly always a brief that did not look.

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.
