tools-codegraph

tools-codegraph is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexei-led/architect. It costs 107 tokens per session (979 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase graph tool that maps symbols, references, function calls, dependencies, cycles, and connections between files. It stores this map so it can be queried without rebuilding it each time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture reviews, tracing callers and callees, finding dependency cycles and highly used code, and checking a change's likely blast radius.
Why use it?
It shows how code is connected, making it easier to spot tightly linked modules and estimate which parts may be affected by a change.

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

tools-codegraph 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

codegraph

codegraph builds a persistent graph of the codebase — symbols, references, and call edges — that you query without re-parsing each time. It answers graph-shaped questions ast-grep can't: what depends on this, what does a change affect, where are the hubs and cycles.

Evidence dimensions: dependency and semantic.

When to use

Use to map observed module structure against declared modules, to find import or call cycles, high-fan-in hubs, wrong-way dependencies, and to size the blast radius of a proposed change. Build the graph during the system-map step; query it during evidence gathering.

Commands

codegraph init                 # set up graph store; prefer an external cache/store if supported
codegraph index                # full parse → build the graph
codegraph sync                 # incremental update after changes
codegraph status               # index health + commit it was built at
codegraph query "<expr>"       # query symbols / edges
codegraph context <symbol>     # neighbors of a symbol (callers, callees, refs)
codegraph affected <path>      # what a change to <path> reaches (blast radius)
codegraph files <symbol>       # files defining/referencing a symbol

Typical flow: init once, index, then status to confirm freshness, then query / context / affected for evidence.

Stale-index handling

Run codegraph status before each scoring query batch. If the index commit does not match the working tree, the graph describes an old repo:

  • Run codegraph sync (incremental) or codegraph index (full) to refresh.
  • If you cannot refresh (read-only target, time budget, or no approved writable cache), the stale graph is not evidence — record the dependency dimension tools_failed with reason "stale index," and do not score dependency health from it.

Evidence output

Record:

  • dimension: dependency or semantic.
  • source: codegraph status freshness, query/context/affected command, and scope.
  • facts: cycles, hubs, fan-in/out, callers/callees, affected paths, or confirmed absence.
  • limits: stale index, partial language coverage, unsupported files, or failed indexing.

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.
