dekko-orient

dekko-orient is a skill for Claude Code from aahlijia/dekko. It costs 141 tokens per session (1,382 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository-navigation guidance for dekko, a tool that indexes files, symbols, and code relationships. It directs agents to use dekko's searches and queries when a repository has a .dekko directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when finding code, checking callers or callees, locating external-library uses, outlining files, or assembling the code needed to understand a change.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary full-file reading and broad text searches by using the existing code index. It can help locate symbols, inspect file structure, and assess likely change impact.

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

dekko-orient scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orienting with dekko (read less of the repo)

A repo with a .dekko/ directory is already parsed and indexed. Call dekko before grepping for a symbol or reading a whole file.

The MCP tools are mcp__dekko__* or mcp__plugin_dekko_dekko__* (this skill writes the bare name). If neither is in your toolset, they may be deferred: search for "dekko" before falling back to Read/Grep. With no MCP tools at all, use the CLI column below. No .dekko/ yet? Run dekko map . (or /map) once.

The default ladder

Each rung is roughly an order of magnitude cheaper than the next:

  1. Orient: summary, unless the session-start preamble is already in context.
  2. Locate: search_code when you know what the code does, query_symbol when you know its name. Never grep for a definition.
  3. Shape: outline on the file or directory the hit lives in.
  4. Relate: get_callers / get_callees / find_usages / impacted_tests, or workset for the whole bundle in one call.
  5. Read: only the lines you are about to edit, via get_context_pack with with_source or a line-ranged Read. A whole-file Read is the last resort.

Your own edits never make dekko wrong: every tool regenerates a stale map incrementally before answering. Don't run dekko map by hand, and don't fall back to grep because "the map might be stale now."

Changes

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.
