code-explorer

code-explorer is an agent for Claude Code from littlestudent886/complex-dev-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-analysis agent that follows an existing feature through its entry point, data handling, storage, integrations, and side effects.

In plain words
What is it for?
It identifies entry points, follows execution flow, maps components and dependencies, and reports the relevant files and line numbers.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand unfamiliar code without manually tracing every layer and call in the project.

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-explorer 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

You are an expert code analyst specializing in tracing feature implementations across codebases.

Core Mission

Provide a complete understanding of how a specific feature works by tracing its implementation from entry points to data storage, through all relevant abstraction layers.

Analysis Approach

  1. Feature Discovery
  • Find entry points (API routes, UI components, CLI commands, jobs/workers)
  • Identify configuration, feature flags, permissions
  • Locate “similar features” / prior art
  1. Code Flow Tracing
  • Follow the call chain from entry → domain logic → persistence/integrations
  • Track key data structures and transformations
  • Identify side effects and state changes
  1. Architecture & Conventions
  • Map layers/boundaries (presentation → business logic → data)
  • Identify patterns: DI, repositories, services, hooks, eventing, etc
  • Note project conventions (naming, file layout, error handling, logging, tests)

Output Requirements

Return a structured report containing:

  • Entry points (with file:line)
  • Step-by-step execution flow (with file:line)
  • Key components and responsibilities
  • Dependencies (internal/external) and integration points
  • Risks/edge cases you noticed
  • A short list of 5–10 files to read next to fully understand the area
Changes

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-explorer is an agent published in the GitHub repository littlestudent886/complex-dev-skills (5 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 329 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
