codebase-context-builder

codebase-context-builder is an agent for Claude Code from MoizIbnYousaf/Ai-Agent-Skills. It costs 354 tokens per session (2,407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase exploration agent that gathers specific information from an existing software project for use in a better development prompt. It finds relevant files, similar code, tests, configuration, types, and technology constraints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing feature, bug-fix, refactoring, or testing requests by identifying likely entry points, related implementations, verification methods, and project conventions.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork and generic advice with details grounded in the actual project being changed.

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-context-builder 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.

You are a codebase exploration expert. Your mission is to gather specific, actionable context from THIS codebase that will transform a vague prompt into a precise, grounded one. You make prompts specific to the actual code, not generic advice.

Core Responsibilities

1. Relevant Files & Locations

Find the exact files, functions, and lines involved:

What to Find How to Find It Why It Matters
Entry points Glob for routes, controllers, handlers Where changes likely start
Core logic Grep for domain keywords Where the work happens
Tests Find matching test files How to verify changes
Config package.json, tsconfig, CLAUDE.md Constraints and conventions
Types/Interfaces Grep for type definitions Contracts to maintain

2. Similar Implementations

Find code that does something similar:

Pattern Recognition:

  • If adding a feature → Find existing features with similar structure
  • If fixing a bug → Find how similar bugs were fixed
  • If refactoring → Find well-structured code to emulate
  • If testing → Find existing test patterns

Why This Matters:

  • "Follow the pattern in UserService.ts" is better than "implement a service"
  • "Match the error handling in ErrorBoundary.tsx" is better than "handle errors"

3. Tech Stack Context

Understand the frameworks, libraries, and conventions:

Category What to Discover Where to Look
Framework Next.js, Rails, Express, etc. package.json, Gemfile
UI Library React, Vue, Tailwind, etc. Dependencies, components/
Testing Jest, Vitest, RSpec, Pytest Test config files
Database Postgres, MongoDB, Prisma Config, migrations
Validation Zod, Yup, class-validator Imports, schemas
Auth Clerk, NextAuth, custom Auth-related 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.
