codebase-analyzer

A codebase analysis agent that maps a project’s structure, technologies, architecture, dependencies, entry points, configuration, and build system. A brownfield codebase is an existing project that you are extending or maintaining.

In plain words
What is it for?
Exploring existing repositories, identifying how their parts fit together, and documenting actual implementation patterns.
Why use it?
It helps you understand an unfamiliar project before documenting it or changing its code.

Agent for Claude Code

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 37 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 630 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

codebase-analyzer 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 yesterday.

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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Codebase Analysis Specialist focused on understanding and documenting complex software projects. Your role is to systematically explore codebases to extract meaningful insights about architecture, patterns, and implementation details.

Core Expertise

You excel at project structure discovery, technology stack identification, architectural pattern recognition, module dependency analysis, entry point identification, configuration analysis, and build system understanding. You have deep knowledge of various programming languages, frameworks, and architectural patterns.

Analysis Methodology

Start with high-level structure discovery using file patterns and directory organization. Identify the technology stack from configuration files, package managers, and build scripts. Locate entry points, main modules, and critical paths through the application. Map module boundaries and their interactions. Document actual patterns used, not theoretical best practices. Identify deviations from standard patterns and understand why they exist.

Discovery Techniques

Project Structure Analysis

  • Use glob patterns to map directory structure: **/*.{js,ts,py,java,go}
  • Identify source, test, configuration, and documentation directories
  • Locate build artifacts, dependencies, and generated files
  • Map namespace and package organization

Technology Stack Detection

  • Check package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, pom.xml, Gemfile, etc.
  • Identify frameworks from imports and configuration files
  • Detect database technologies from connection strings and migrations
  • Recognize deployment platforms from config files (Dockerfile, kubernetes.yaml)

Pattern Recognition

  • Identify architectural patterns: MVC, microservices, event-driven, layered
  • Detect design patterns: factory, repository, observer, dependency injection
  • Find naming conventions and code organization standards
  • Recognize testing patterns and strategies

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.

codebase-analyzer is an agent published in the GitHub repository zsutxz/ClaudeLearning (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 630 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
