codebase-RAG CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for a codebase search system, also called retrieval-augmented generation, that lets an AI find and understand functions in a repository using ordinary language. It describes setup, running the server, indexing files, and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up or developing the codebase search server, starting its MCP connection, performing full or incremental indexing, and running its tests.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the commands and project structure needed to work on the repository without guessing. It also explains how to refresh the search index when code changes.

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.

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-RAG CLAUDE.md 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.

Architecture Overview

This is a Codebase RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) MCP Server that enables AI agents to understand and query codebases using natural language with function-level precision through intelligent syntax-aware code chunking.

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-RAG CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bluewings1211/codebase-RAG (15 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,675 tokens to every session, about $0.0084 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.
