codegraph: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/arch-check.md

arch-check is a command for Claude Code from cognitx-leyton/codegraph. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,038 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A codebase architecture checker that looks for import cycles, forbidden imports between packages, and controllers that bypass service classes to call repositories directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it to check whether the project still follows its intended package boundaries and service-layer design.
Why use it?
It catches structural problems that can make code harder to change and maintain. The report shows which rules were violated.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

This is cognitx-leyton/codegraph's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on codegraph itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything codegraph configures →

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

arch-check 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Usage

/arch-check

No args. Runs three built-in policies and reports violations. Zero violations = architecture still holds. Non-zero = investigate.

Policy What it detects
Import cycles File IMPORTS paths of length 2-6 that loop back to the start
Cross-package imports twenty-front importing from twenty-server (front/back boundary)
Controller → Repository bypass Controllers that call Repository methods within 3 hops without going through a *Service class — skips the service layer

Each policy is an independent Cypher block. To extend the default policy set, edit this file and add a new block following the pattern.

What this does

echo "=== Policy 1: file-level IMPORTS cycles ==="
codegraph query "
MATCH path = (a:File)-[:IMPORTS*2..6]->(a)
RETURN [n IN nodes(path) | n.path] AS cycle,
       length(path) AS hops
ORDER BY hops ASC
LIMIT 10
"

echo ""
echo "=== Policy 2: cross-package boundary (twenty-front -> twenty-server) ==="
codegraph query "
MATCH (a:File)-[:IMPORTS]->(b:File)
WHERE a.package = 'twenty-front' AND b.package = 'twenty-server'
RETURN a.path AS importer, b.path AS importee
LIMIT 10
"

echo ""
echo "=== Policy 3: Controller -> Repository bypass (skips *Service) ==="
codegraph query "
MATCH (ctrl:Controller)-[:HAS_METHOD]->(m:Method)-[:CALLS*1..3]->(target:Method)
MATCH (repo:Class)-[:HAS_METHOD]->(target)
WHERE repo.name ENDS WITH 'Repository'
  AND NOT EXISTS {
    MATCH (ctrl)-[:HAS_METHOD]->(:Method)-[:CALLS*1..3]->(:Method)<-[:HAS_METHOD]-(svc:Class)
    WHERE svc.name ENDS WITH 'Service'
  }
RETURN ctrl.name AS controller, repo.name AS repository, target.name AS method
LIMIT 10
"

Caveats

  • Policies are project-specific. The default set is tuned for this repo (codegraph) + Twenty. A fresh repo with different conventions will see either false positives or zero coverage. Rewrite the policies in this file — it's designed to be forked.
  • Cycle bound is *2..6. Very long cycles (depth > 6) won't be detected. If you suspect one, raise the upper bound (slower query).
  • The Controller→Repository check is a heuristic. It relies on naming convention (*Service, *Repository). Projects that use different names need to edit the ENDS WITH clauses.
  • Python coverage is limited. No :Controller label for Python yet (NestJS-only in Stage 1). Policy 3 is effectively TS-only.

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.

arch-check is a command published in the GitHub repository cognitx-leyton/codegraph (12 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,038 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
