map-codebase

map-codebase is a command for Claude Code from mrvladd-d/memobank. It costs 19 tokens per session (585 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that examines an existing software repository and creates baseline documentation in a Memory Bank, including its architecture, components, workflows, and testing. It records what the code shows rather than planning new work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a brownfield repository before making changes, by reviewing areas such as tooling, backend, frontend, data, and tests. It can also identify contradictions and ask for the product changes that should guide the next step.
Why use it?
It gives developers a shared map of an unfamiliar codebase and separates confirmed facts from assumptions or unresolved questions. It also prevents generating task roadmaps when no product requirements document exists.

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

map-codebase 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

/map-codebase — Brownfield mapping

  1. Создай .tasks/TASK-MB-MAP/.
  2. Запусти сабагентов по зонам (до 5–7 параллельно):
  • tooling/CI
  • backend
  • frontend
  • data
  • tests

Каждый сабагент:

  • smart calling (глобы должны матчиться)
  • пишет отчёт в .tasks/TASK-MB-MAP/...
  1. Синтезируй .memory-bank/ по чеклисту:
  • product
  • architecture (C4)
  • spec-index / glossary / invariants (если есть достаточно evidence для явного normative routing)
  • runbooks
  • contracts
  • states (если lifecycle/state rules очевидны из кода, workflow или тестов)
  • testing
  • index

PRD-less rule (non-negotiable): если нет prd.md, запрещено генерировать roadmap сущности:

  • .memory-bank/epics/*
  • .memory-bank/features/*
  • .memory-bank/tasks/*.task.json task records
  • .memory-bank/tasks/index.json task links

Маппинг = as-is документация по evidence, а не планирование.

  1. Сделай fan-in:
  • сведи отчёты сабагентов
  • устрани противоречия (или запиши как “needs verification”)
  • раздели facts vs inferences
  1. Попроси у пользователя PRD delta (что хотим изменить).
    • Если delta уже оформлена как PRD — /constitution, если principles не ratified/partial, затем /write-prd --delta, /spec-init, /prd, /spec-design, /spec-improve FT-<NNN> и /prd-to-tasks FT-<NNN>.
    • Если delta ясна, но PRD нет — сначала /brief, затем /constitution, если principles не ratified/partial, затем /write-prd, /spec-init, /prd, /spec-design, /spec-improve FT-<NNN> и /prd-to-tasks FT-<NNN>.
    • Если delta сырая / направление нестабильно — сначала /analysis или /brainstorm.
    • Не переходи напрямую к /prd-to-tasks; для planning delta сначала нужен /write-prd, /spec-init, /prd, /spec-design и /spec-improve FT-<NNN>.
  2. Запусти /review.

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.
