codebase-intel: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

codebase-intel CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from MutharasuArchunan13/codebase-intel. It costs 1,248 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a codebase-intelligence platform that gives AI coding agents structured information about a codebase, past decisions, and quality rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on code analysis, code relationships, decision records, quality contracts, change detection, Git integration, or the platform’s command-line and assistant interfaces.
Why use it?
They explain the system’s modules and data flow, helping an agent find relevant context and understand how code, decisions, contracts, and change detection fit together.

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-intel 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 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.

Codebase Intel — Project CLAUDE.md

Project Overview

Codebase Intelligence Platform: an open-source, agent-agnostic system that provides AI coding agents with structured context, decision provenance, and quality contracts. Solves the three biggest gaps in AI-assisted development: context/memory, judgment/business context, and quality assurance.

Tech Stack

  • Language: Python 3.11+
  • Type System: Pydantic v2 for all models, mypy strict mode
  • Storage: SQLite via aiosqlite (zero-dependency, portable)
  • Parsing: tree-sitter for language-agnostic AST analysis
  • Agent Interface: MCP (Model Context Protocol) server
  • CLI: Typer + Rich
  • Git Integration: GitPython
  • Token Counting: tiktoken
  • Hashing: xxhash for content fingerprinting

Architecture

Layered system with five core modules + two interface layers:

AI Agent (any) → MCP Server / CLI
                      ↓
            Context Orchestrator
          ↙         ↓          ↘
   Code Graph   Decisions   Contracts
          ↘         ↓          ↙
            Drift Detector
                  ↓
             Codebase (git)

Module Responsibilities:

  • core/ — Shared types, config, exceptions. No business logic.
  • graph/ — Semantic code graph: AST parsing, dependency mapping, impact analysis, SQLite storage
  • decisions/ — Decision journal: structured records, git mining, code linking, temporal validation
  • contracts/ — Quality contracts: architectural rules, pattern libraries, evaluation engine
  • orchestrator/ — Context assembly: budget management, freshness scoring, conflict detection
  • drift/ — Drift detection: staleness, pattern violations, knowledge decay
  • mcp/ — MCP server: exposes all modules as queryable tools for AI agents
  • cli/ — CLI interface: init, analyze, query, serve commands

Project Flow

  1. codebase-intel init → scans repo, builds initial code graph, generates starter configs
  2. Git hooks keep graph updated incrementally on each commit
  3. AI agent connects via MCP → sends task description
  4. Orchestrator assembles relevant context (files, decisions, contracts) within token budget
  5. Agent receives structured context, writes code
  6. Drift detector flags violations post-commit

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.
