ai-codegraph

ai-codegraph is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering. It costs 138 tokens per session (1,166 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-navigation tool that maps how symbols and modules relate across files, including call chains, dependencies, and the likely impact of changing an interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand how a function works, find its callers, inspect module dependencies, or estimate what a code change may break.
Why use it?
It answers relationship questions more reliably than searching text file by file, especially when calls cross modules or use dynamic dispatch.

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

ai-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 22d 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.

ai-codegraph — semantic code intelligence via MCP

What it produces

Nothing written. This skill reads the code graph and returns structured answers: verbatim source grouped by file, call paths (including dynamic dispatch), and blast radius summaries. The agent uses these to answer graph questions without grepping every file.

When to use CodeGraph vs find/grep

Question Tool Why
"How does X work?" codegraph_explore Follows call chains across files
"What calls function Y?" codegraph_explore Graph traversal, follows polymorphism
"If I change this interface, what breaks?" codegraph_explore Blast radius via edge traversal
"What does this module depend on?" codegraph_explore Import edges in the graph
"Find all TODOs" grep Literal text search, faster
"Where is X defined?" find Simple path lookup
"Find all files importing X" grep Literal text match
"Show me the test for this function" find + grep Convention-based lookup

Rule of thumb: graph questions → CodeGraph. Text questions → find/grep.

Steps

  1. Check availability — is CodeGraph installed?

    which codegraph && codegraph --version
    

    If missing: npm i -g @colbymchenry/codegraph

  2. Check daemon — is the daemon running?

    test -S .codegraph/daemon.sock && echo "running" || echo "not running"
    

    If not running: codegraph serve --mcp &

  3. Check index — is the project indexed?

    codegraph status
    

    If not indexed: codegraph init

  4. Query — use codegraph_explore MCP tool:

    • query: natural language or symbol/file names
    • maxFiles: default 12, increase for broad questions
  5. Interpret results — CodeGraph returns:

    • Verbatim source grouped by file (with line numbers)
    • Call paths (calls, imports, extends, implements)
    • Blast radius summary (what depends on the queried symbol)

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.
