code-intel-platform CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for using code-intel-platform, a tool that indexes code symbols and their relationships, plus rtk commands that shorten terminal output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when navigating or changing a repository with code-intel and rtk available, especially before editing shared code.
Why use it?
They require investigating symbols and their callers before opening or editing files, which helps reveal dependencies and possible side effects.

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

code-intel-platform 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tool Usage Rules (MANDATORY)

code-intel — Always Investigate First (before reading any file)

code-intel search "<concept>"   # FIRST: find symbols by concept
code-intel inspect <symbol>     # callers, callees, file location
code-intel impact <symbol>      # blast radius BEFORE editing
  • NEVER open a file cold — always code-intel search first.
  • NEVER grep for symbols — use code-intel search instead.
  • NEVER edit a symbol without running code-intel impact first.

rtk — Use for compact shell output

rtk read <file>            # token-efficient file read
rtk grep <pattern> <file>  # compact grep
rtk git log                # compact git log
rtk test <cmd>             # show only failures
rtk err <cmd>              # show only errors/warnings
rtk diff                   # condensed diff
rtk smart <cmd>            # 2-line heuristic summary

Code Intelligence — code-intel-platform

Auto-managed by code-intel analyze (v1.0.5) — re-running it overwrites this block. Put durable notes below <!-- code-intel:end -->.

code-intel keeps a symbol / call-graph index of this repo. It complements reading files, it doesn't replace it — on a repo this size, read files directly for most work and reach for code-intel when you need the call graph.

Reach for it when you need

  • Blast radius before changing a shared symbolcode-intel impact <symbol> (reverse call graph). Flag ≥ 5 direct callers to the user as higher-risk.
  • PR review scopecode-intel pr-impact --base master --head HEAD
  • Callers / callees of a symbolcode-intel inspect <symbol>
  • Concept search across filescode-intel search "<concept>"
  • Tracing an execution pathcode-intel query "TRAVERSE CALLS FROM '<symbol>' DEPTH 3"

CLI reference

code-intel search <query>            # find symbols by concept/name
code-intel inspect <symbol>          # callers, callees, imports
code-intel impact <symbol>           # blast radius (who breaks if this changes)
code-intel pr-impact --base master   # full PR blast radius
code-intel query "TRAVERSE CALLS FROM '<symbol>' DEPTH 3"
code-intel query "PATH FROM '<sym>' TO '<target>'"
code-intel analyze                   # rebuild the index (run when stale)
code-intel serve                     # HTTP API + web UI on :4747

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.
