code-wiki

code-wiki is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aivrar/portable-hermes-agent. It costs 15 tokens per session (3,695 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of code-wiki, MIT.

A documentation generator that turns a codebase into a structured wiki with explanations of its architecture and modules. It also creates Mermaid diagrams, which are text-based diagrams that render in places such as GitHub.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a repository, explain modules, create class and sequence diagrams, and support onboarding across programming languages.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand an unfamiliar repository without tracing every file manually. The result gives teams a stable reference for how the code is organised and works.

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 C, and why

code-wiki scanned grade C 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 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

If you cloned to a temp dir, remind the user it can be removed (`rm -rf "$WIKI_TMP"`) after they've reviewed the wiki.
Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to code-wiki — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 446 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Wiki Skill

Generate a full wiki for any codebase — overview, architecture, per-module deep-dives, Mermaid class and sequence diagrams. Inspired by Google CodeWiki, but works on local repos, private repos, and any language. Uses only existing Hermes tools (terminal, read_file, search_files, write_file); no Docker, no external services, no extra dependencies.

This skill produces reference documentation (what/how). It does not produce strategic narrative (why — that's a different skill).

When to Use

  • User says "document this codebase", "generate a wiki", "make architecture diagrams"
  • Onboarding to an unfamiliar repo and wants a structured reference
  • User points at a GitHub URL and asks for documentation
  • Need a stable artifact (markdown + Mermaid) that renders on GitHub

Do NOT use this for:

  • Single-file or single-function documentation — just answer directly
  • API reference for one specific endpoint — use read_file and answer inline
  • Strategic "why does this exist" narrative — different skill, different purpose
  • Codebases the user is actively developing in this session — just answer questions as they come

Prerequisites

  • No env vars required.
  • git on PATH for repo SHA tracking and remote clones.
  • Optional: pygount for language-breakdown stats (see the codebase-inspection skill).

How to Run

Invoke through the terminal tool from the target repo's root, then use read_file / search_files / write_file to produce the wiki. Default output location is ~/.hermes/wikis/<repo-name>/. Only write into the repo (docs/wiki/) when the user explicitly requests it.

Quick Reference

Step Action
1 Resolve target — local cwd, given path, or git clone --depth 50 <url> to a temp dir
2 Scan structure — ls, find -maxdepth 3, manifest files, README
3 Pick 8–10 modules to document
4 Write README.md (overview + module map)
5 Write architecture.md with Mermaid flowchart
6 Write per-module docs in modules/
7 Write diagrams/class-diagram.md (Mermaid classDiagram)
8 Write diagrams/sequences.md (Mermaid sequenceDiagram, 2–4 workflows)
9 Write getting-started.md
10 Write api.md if applicable, else skip
11 Write .codewiki-state.json
12 Report paths to user

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
