archaeologist

archaeologist is an agent for Claude Code from psreek-ai/codebase-mooc. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,246 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A codebase analysis agent that reads a project's structure and records its parts and relationships in a structured graph file.

In plain words
What is it for?
It rebuilds or updates Codebase Memory in .codebase-mooc/memory/codebase/graph.json.
Why use it?
It gives other tools a stored map of the codebase instead of requiring them to rediscover the project structure each time.

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

archaeologist 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 2mo 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 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.

archaeologist is an agent published in the GitHub repository psreek-ai/codebase-mooc (1 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,246 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
