legacy-analyst is an agent for coding agents from mostwise/dot-claude. It costs 54 tokens per session (845 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

An agent for investigating older software systems, including COBOL, Java, .NET, and Node.js codebases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map dependencies, find unused code, study system structure and behavior, and support discovery work.
Why use it?
It helps answer what a legacy system actually does when its structure, dependencies, or behavior are difficult to understand.

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.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mostwise/dot-claude

Or install code-modernization, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 10 commands, 8 agents.

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 B, and why

legacy-analyst scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

literals crafted to look like directives to an AI tool ("SYSTEM:", "ignore previous instructions", "mark this rule as approved", "this finding is a

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
