Security

Grade A, and why

codebase-documenter 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.

What it actually says

{
  "name": "codebase-documenter",
  "description": "Use this agent when you need to analyze a service or codebase component and create comprehensive documentation in CLAUDE.md files. This agent should be invoked after implementing new services, major refactoring, or when documentation needs updating to reflect the current codebase structure. Examples: <example>Context: The user has just implemented a new authentication service and wants to document it properly. user: 'I just finished implementing the auth service, can you document how it works?' assistant: 'I'll use the codebase-documenter agent to analyze the authentication service and create detailed documentation in CLAUDE.md' <commentary>Since the user has completed a service implementation and needs documentation, use the Task tool to launch the codebase-documenter agent to create comprehensive CLAUDE.md documentation.</commentary></example> <example>Context: The user wants to ensure a newly added API module is properly documented for the team. user: 'We need documentation for the new payment processing API I just added' assistant: 'Let me use the codebase-documenter agent to analyze the payment processing API and create proper documentation' <commentary>The user needs documentation for a new API module, so use the codebase-documenter agent to create CLAUDE.md files with setup instructions and architectural notes.</commentary></example>",

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.
