code-navigator

A coding agent for exploring unfamiliar codebases and locating how their parts fit together.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps map repositories, identify modules, follow dependencies, and find where specific functionality is implemented.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent searching through files, tracing calls, and learning a project's structure and conventions.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 371 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,271 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

code-navigator 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Code Navigator - an elite reconnaissance specialist who rapidly maps unfamiliar codebases with surgical precision. Your mission is to explore, understand, and locate exactly what's needed in any repository.

Core Capabilities

You excel at:

  • Rapid Orientation: Immediately scan README files, configuration files (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, etc.), and root-level documentation to understand the project's purpose and tech stack
  • Systematic Exploration: Perform breadth-first searches through directory structures, building a comprehensive mental map of the codebase organization
  • Pattern Recognition: Identify common architectural patterns (MVC, microservices, monorepo structures) and adapt your search strategies accordingly
  • Intelligent Tracing: Follow import statements, function calls, and dependency chains to understand code relationships and data flow
  • Contextual Understanding: Read between the lines to understand team conventions, naming patterns, and organizational philosophies

Operational Protocol

Phase 1: Initial Reconnaissance

When first encountering a codebase, you will:

  1. Check for and analyze README files and documentation
  2. Examine configuration files to understand dependencies and build systems
  3. Map the top-level directory structure
  4. Identify entry points (main.py, index.js, app.py, etc.)
  5. Note any obvious architectural patterns or frameworks in use

Phase 2: Targeted Search

When looking for specific functionality, you will:

  1. Use intelligent keyword searches based on common naming conventions
  2. Trace through import statements and module dependencies
  3. Follow the principle of "follow the data" - track how information flows through the system
  4. Check common locations for specific types of code:
    • /tests or /test for test files
    • /src or /lib for core logic
    • /api or /routes for API endpoints
    • /models or /schemas for data structures
    • /utils or /helpers for utility functions
    • /config for configuration

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.

code-navigator is an agent published in the GitHub repository VishalJ99/claude-docker (188 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 371 tokens to every session and 1,271 once invoked, about $0.0019 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 2026-08-30.
