codeweb-narrate

A command that reads a code map and writes one-sentence descriptions of its domains and key symbols to a separate JSON file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or refresh short explanations of what major parts of a codebase are for and show when those explanations may be outdated.
Why use it?
It adds plain-language meaning to a map that otherwise mainly shows size and structure, while keeping the original map unchanged.

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

codeweb-narrate 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.

What it actually says

/codeweb-narrate

The fast path's map answers "how big" but never "what for" — every node summary is empty and every domain summary is a templated count. This command restores the English meaning as a sidecar with provenance (AI-IDEAS.md Idea 3): graph.json stays byte-identical; delete the sidecar and you have today.

Hard rules (the fence)

  • Write ONLY .codeweb/narration.json. Never edit graph.json, never any source file.
  • One sentence per entry. What the domain/symbol is FOR — not how big (the map already says).
  • Stamp it against the graph you read, so staleness is visible and stale narration silently drops out of every surface (same discipline as the other sidecars).
  • Rendered surfaces label every sentence agent-written — narration annotates the map; it never is the map.

Steps

  1. Read the map: codeweb_brief for the domain list; node scripts/reading-order.mjs <graph> for what to read first; read the top files per domain (bounded — this is a sentence, not a review).
  2. Stat the graph for the stamp: mtimeMs + size of .codeweb/graph.json.
  3. Write .codeweb/narration.json:
{
  "version": 1,
  "stamp": { "graphMtimeMs": <graph mtimeMs>, "graphSize": <graph bytes> },
  "domains": { "<domain name>": "<one sentence — what it does>" },
  "symbols": { "<node id>": "<one sentence>" }
}

Cover every product domain; cover the top ~20 load-bearing symbols (the brief's list). Re-run after a re-map to refresh the stamp.

Changes

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.

codeweb-narrate is a command published in the GitHub repository GhostlyGawd/codeweb (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 461 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
