code-instrumentation-generator

code-instrumentation-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 109 tokens per session (2,066 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-instrumentation tool adds temporary reporting to a program so it records events such as function calls, decisions, variable changes, and execution traces while keeping the program's behavior unchanged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add debugging logs or tracing, collect runtime data for analysis, and choose which parts of the code and output format to record.
Why use it?
It helps reveal what the program actually does while running, which can be difficult to determine from source code alone.

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

code-instrumentation-generator 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 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.

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.

Code Instrumentation Generator

Automatically instrument source code to collect runtime information while preserving program semantics.

Workflow

Follow these steps to instrument code:

1. Analyze the Source Code

Understand the code structure and identify instrumentation points:

  • Language detection: Identify the programming language
  • Code structure: Parse functions, classes, branches, loops
  • Entry/exit points: Locate function boundaries
  • Control flow: Identify branches (if/else, switch, loops)
  • Variable scope: Understand variable declarations and usage

2. Determine Instrumentation Strategy

Choose appropriate instrumentation based on requirements:

Instrumentation levels:

  • Function-level: Entry/exit of functions with parameters and return values
  • Branch-level: Execution of conditional branches (if/else, switch cases)
  • Statement-level: Individual statement execution
  • Variable-level: Variable assignments and value changes

Configuration options:

  • Enable/disable specific instrumentation types
  • Filter by function names or file patterns
  • Set verbosity level
  • Choose output format (logs, JSON, CSV)

3. Insert Instrumentation Code

Add instrumentation hooks at identified points:

Function instrumentation:

  • Insert entry hook at function start
  • Capture function name, parameters, timestamp
  • Insert exit hook before returns
  • Capture return value, execution time

Branch instrumentation:

  • Insert hooks at branch conditions
  • Record which branch was taken
  • Track branch coverage

Variable instrumentation:

  • Insert hooks after variable assignments
  • Capture variable name and value
  • Track value changes over time

4. Ensure Semantic Preservation

Verify that instrumentation doesn't change program behavior:

  • No side effects: Instrumentation code doesn't modify program state
  • Exception safety: Instrumentation handles exceptions properly
  • Performance: Minimal overhead added
  • Thread safety: Instrumentation is safe in concurrent code

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.

code-instrumentation-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE (251 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 2,066 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
