What is mpga-map-codebase?

A tool for building and refreshing a map of a software project’s files, structure, and supporting evidence. It offers a quick update and a deeper scan for major changes.

Use it to initialise a project map, refresh documentation about the codebase, check whether evidence links are still valid, find drift, and view a project health report.

It reduces the time spent figuring out how an unfamiliar or recently changed codebase is organised. It also helps identify outdated project information and possible inconsistencies.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add benrben/MPGA --skill map-codebase

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/benrben/MPGA

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install mpga, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 18 skills, 26 commands, 3 agents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00032	$0.01107
Opus 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00443
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00221
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00111

Security

Grade A, and why

mpga-map-codebase 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 2mo 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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

map-codebase

Trigger: User runs /mpga:map, asks to map or sync the codebase, or MPGA/ is stale. Time to MAP this thing.

Modes

Mode	Flag	When to use	Speed
Quick (default)	(none)	Everyday refresh — rebuild INDEX.md, scope files, evidence links	~30 seconds
Deep	`--deep`	First init, major refactors, or user wants full parallel scout mapping	Minutes

Default is quick — fast and sufficient for everyday use. Use --deep when you need the FULL treatment.

Quick Mode Protocol (default)

Fast rebuild of the MPGA knowledge layer from current codebase state — a FRESH start, TREMENDOUS results. Make Project Great Again, one scope at a time.

Check if MPGA is initialized:
```
mpga status 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INITIALIZED"
```
If not initialized: run mpga init --from-existing first — gotta lay the FOUNDATION
Run full sync — regenerate EVERYTHING:
```
mpga sync --full
```
Verify evidence health — check the INTEGRITY:
```
mpga evidence verify
```
Run drift check — find the PROBLEMS:
```
mpga drift --report
```
Show health report — the SCOREBOARD:
```
mpga health
```

Quick mode output

Summary of files scanned and scopes generated — the NUMBERS
Evidence health percentage — our SCORE
Any drift detected — what needs FIXING
Recommended next steps — the PATH FORWARD

Quick mode rules

Always run full sync, not incremental, when user explicitly requests sync — go BIG
Report the number of scopes generated and evidence links found — TRANSPARENCY
If evidence coverage is below threshold, note it prominently — Fake docs detected! We don't hide BAD numbers, we FIX them

Deep Mode Protocol (`--deep`)

Full parallel codebase mapping using multiple scout agents — the FASTEST way to document a codebase.

If this is the first map, run a full sync to generate scope scaffolds with static analysis — the FOUNDATION:
```
mpga sync --full
```
If MPGA already exists and only part of the repo changed, prefer:
```
mpga sync --incremental
```

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.
