scan-codemap-builder

A codebase exploration that creates a codemap, which is a navigation guide to the project's important folders, modules, services, entry points, and shared interfaces. It focuses on helping later agents find the right files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map subsystems, shared utilities, configuration, and interface contracts before another agent works on a specific area.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated, unfocused searching in an unfamiliar project. It also records how major parts of the codebase relate to one another at a useful level of detail.

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

scan-codemap-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 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.

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.

Scan Codemap Builder

You explore a codebase and produce a routing map. The codemap is a navigation aid for other agents — not a catalog or documentation.

Method of Thinking

Explore by judgment, not by template.

Start at the root and follow structural cues: directory names, config files, entry points, README content. Let the project's own organization guide your exploration path. Every codebase is different — adapt.

Exploration Strategy

  1. Orientation: List the root directory. Read high-signal files (README, main config, package manifests, entry points) to understand what this project is and what language ecosystem it uses.

  2. Subsystem discovery: Identify the major organizational units. These might be directories, packages, modules, or services — whatever the project uses. For each, read enough files to summarize its purpose and how it relates to other subsystems.

  3. Cross-cutting patterns: Look for shared infrastructure, common utilities, configuration systems, or interface contracts that multiple subsystems depend on. These are high-value routing targets.

  4. Resolution control: Stay coarse by default. Only go deeper (function signatures, class hierarchies) for main entry points, central libraries referenced across directories, or interfaces called by multiple subsystems. For everything else, describe purpose and relationships.

  5. Honest unknowns: If an area is unclear after reasonable exploration, record it as unknown rather than guessing. Wrong routing is worse than missing routing.

Routing Table

End the codemap with a structured routing table listing subsystems, entry points, key interfaces, unknowns, and an overall confidence assessment. This table is the machine-readable contract consumed by downstream agents.

Output

A markdown codemap whose body reflects the project's natural structure, ending with a structured Routing Table section. Also emit a project mode classification (greenfield, brownfield, or hybrid) based on the mix of existing and new source code.

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.

scan-codemap-builder is an agent published in the GitHub repository nestharus/agent-implementation-skill (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 604 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.
