dekko-orient

dekko-orient is a skill for Claude Code from aahlijia/dekko. It costs 100 tokens per session (2,118 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 9d 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 — 156 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's MCP tools (mcp__dekko__*) or CLI before grepping for a symbol or reading a whole file — that is the token cost this skill exists to avoid. If mcp__dekko__* tools don't show up in your toolset yet, they may be deferred behind a tool search — search for "dekko" before falling back to Read/Grep, don't give up after one miss.

No .dekko/ directory yet? Run dekko map . (or the /map command) once, then use the tools below.

When to reach for dekko vs. grep/Read

Need Use Not
You know what the code does but not its exact name/spelling search_code grepping guessed keywords across every file
A symbol's signature, doc, or its callers/callees query_symbol, get_callers, get_callees grep for the name
Which in-repo symbols reference an external/third-party name (a library import, not a local symbol) find_usages grepping the import name across every file
A file or directory's shape outline reading the whole file
Everything needed to work a diff or symbol workset assembling outlines + packs by hand
Tests a change impacts impacted_tests guessing from filenames
Whether the map on disk is stale, and fixing it without shell access map_status, refresh_map assuming the map is current; shelling out to dekko map when only MCP tools are available
Text dekko doesn't model — strings, comments, config, prose grep/Read

search_code in particular replaces the "grep for a few plausible keywords and hope" impulse: it's BM25-style relevance over symbol names, signatures, and doc lines (not substring matching), so it finds the right symbol even when your guessed keyword isn't literally in the source. Reach for it first whenever the task is phrased as behavior ("where do we retry failed requests?") rather than a known identifier.
