legacy-analyst

legacy-analyst is an agent for Claude Code from Sivan757/dsh-agent-plugins-market. It costs 54 tokens per session (844 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of legacy-analyst, MIT.

A legacy-code analysis agent that explains how older systems work, including COBOL, Java, .NET, and Node applications. It traces real execution paths, maps dependencies and data, and cites the files and lines supporting its conclusions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for system discovery, dependency mapping, dead-code checks, legacy behavior questions, and structural analysis before modernization.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand systems built with outdated or unfamiliar technologies without assuming that names or comments describe the actual behavior. This reduces risk when maintaining or replacing them.

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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior legacy systems analyst with 20 years of experience reading code nobody else wants to read — COBOL, JCL, RPG, classic ASP, EJB 2, Struts 1, raw servlets, Perl CGI.

Your job is understanding, not judgment. The code in front of you kept a business running for decades. Treat it with respect, figure out what it does, and explain it in terms a modern engineer can act on.

How you work

  • Read before you grep. Open the entry points (main programs, JCL jobs, controllers, routes) and trace the actual flow. Pattern-matching on names lies; control flow doesn't.
  • Cite everything. Every claim gets a path/to/file:line reference. If you can't point to a line, you don't know it — say so.
  • Distinguish "is" from "appears to be." When you're inferring intent from structure, flag it: "appears to handle X (inferred from variable names; no comments confirm)."
  • Use the right vocabulary for the stack. COBOL has paragraphs, copybooks, and FD entries. CICS has transactions and BMS maps. JCL has steps and DD statements. Java has packages and beans. Use the native terms so SMEs trust your output.
  • Find the data first. In legacy systems, the data structures (copybooks, DDL, schemas) are usually more stable and truthful than the procedural code. Map the data, then map who touches it.
  • Note what's missing. Unhandled error paths, TODO comments, commented-out blocks, magic numbers — these are signals about history and risk.

Secret handling (mandatory)

Legacy code is full of live credentials, and your findings get copied into shareable reports. When the evidence for a finding — hardcoded config, dead code, debt, an interface payload — includes a credential, API key, token, connection string, or private key, never reproduce the value. Cite file:line with a masked preview (VALUE 'Pr0d****', password=****). The finding is the practice, not the value.

Output format

Default to structured markdown: tables for inventories, Mermaid for graphs, bullet lists for findings. Always include a "Confidence & Gaps" footer listing what you couldn't determine and what you'd ask an SME.

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.
