codebase-analyzer CLAUDE.md

A project instruction file for a codebase-analysis plugin. It defines how the plugin maps software structure, studies its history and behavior, and records its conclusions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when maintaining or extending the codebase-analyzer plugin, especially its analysis skills, agents, output files, and development workflow.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent rules for investigating unfamiliar code and reporting evidence. This reduces guesswork and keeps analysis results in a standard format.

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-analyzer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 41 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

codebase-analyzer Plugin

Architecture

  • 32 skills + 3 agents
  • Track A (reconnaissance) -> Track B (deep dive) -> System Intent
  • Orchestration skills cloned from superpowers (vendor/superpowers/) for development workflows
  • Standard output contract in docs/analysis/

Three Depths Model

  • Surface (Track A): Fast structural scans, architecture maps
  • Deep (Track B Phases 1-3): Git archaeology, gate extraction, behavior simulation
  • Intent (Track B Phase 4): Reconstruct what the system was built to do

Skill Standards

  • Description field: starts with "Use when...", triggers only, no workflow summary
  • Every skill writes to docs/analysis/ using standard contract
  • Trigger signals include: priority (high/med/low), confidence (high/med/low), evidence (file:line)

Behavioral Engineering

  • Skills are behavioral software, not reference documentation
  • Every skill includes: announce line, red flags, output contract
  • Critical skills include: Iron Law, rationalization table, HARD-GATE
  • Description field: trigger-only (CSO rule), never summarize workflow

File Naming

  • Skills: skills/<verb>-<noun>/SKILL.md
  • References: skills/<verb>-<noun>/references/<topic>.md
  • Agents: agents/<noun>.md

Testing

  • RED-GREEN-REFACTOR for each skill
  • Test against diverse repo types (web app, library, IaC, monorepo)

Multi-Platform Support

  • Claude Code: Primary target. SessionStart hook, plugin manifests, Skill tool, full agent dispatch.
  • OpenCode: ESM plugin at .opencode/plugins/codebase-analyzer.js. Config hook + message transform. No agent dispatch (degraded mode).
  • Codex: Symlink-based skill discovery (~/.agents/skills/). AGENTS.md symlink. Sandbox fallback mode. No agent dispatch (degraded mode).
  • Platform capabilities: Defined in skills/using-codebase-analyzer/PLATFORM-NOTES.md (single source of truth).
  • Validation: scripts/validate.sh checks all skills, agents, hooks, and plugin health.
  • Upstream sync: scripts/sync-upstream.sh pulls upstream superpowers via git subtree + rebuilds skills.

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.
