codebase-onboarding

codebase-onboarding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 0xsarwagya/ontoly. It costs 42 tokens per session (484 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A repository onboarding guide that uses Ontoly graph summaries to explain how a codebase is organized. Ontoly is a tool for mapping software components and their relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding application entry points, mapping packages, explaining a new repository, and choosing initial files to read.
Why use it?
It helps a developer understand an unfamiliar project without searching through every file first. It highlights starting points and the most relevant areas to inspect.

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-onboarding 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 3d 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.

What ships with it

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.
