update-code-index

update-code-index is a skill for Claude Code from brain-bootstrap/claude-code-brain-bootstrap. It costs 38 tokens per session (612 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that scans a codebase's exported functions, classes, hooks, and components and organizes them in a code index. The index acts as a reference before adding new code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate or update CODE_INDEX.md and check whether an existing implementation can be reused.
Why use it?
It helps developers find existing functionality and avoid creating duplicate helpers or components.

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

update-code-index 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update Code Index Skill

Scan source files for all exported functions, classes, hooks, and components. Generate CODE_INDEX.md as a "check before write" safety net.

⚠️ Before writing any new function, check CODE_INDEX.md for existing similar ones. Found a match? Use or extend it instead of creating a duplicate.

Steps

1. Identify Source Directories

ls -d src/ lib/ app/ core/ 2>/dev/null || true

2. Scan for Exports

TypeScript / JavaScript:

grep -rn 'export function\|export const\|export class\|export default' \
  . --include='*.ts' --include='*.tsx' --include='*.js' --include='*.jsx' \
  --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=dist --exclude-dir=build \
  --exclude-dir='.next' --exclude-dir=coverage 2>/dev/null | head -200

Python:

grep -rn '^def \|^async def \|^class ' \
  . --include='*.py' \
  --exclude-dir=__pycache__ --exclude-dir=.venv --exclude-dir=venv \
  2>/dev/null | head -200

3. Categorize by Capability

Category Match on name or description
Date / Time date, time, format, parse, duration, timestamp
Validation validate, is*, check, verify, sanitize
API clients fetch, get, post, put, delete, request, client
Auth auth, login, logout, session, token, permission
Database db, query, find, create, update, delete, repo
React Hooks use* exports in .tsx files
Components PascalCase exports in .tsx / .jsx
Utilities helper, util, common (catch-all)

4. Write CODE_INDEX.md

# Code Index
*Auto-generated by /update-code-index — [TIMESTAMP]*
> Check this before writing new code. Find a match? Use or extend it instead.

## [Category]
- `functionName()` — src/path/to/file.ts:LINE — what it does in one line

5. Report Summary

  • Total exports scanned (by language)
  • ⚠️ Potential duplicates — same-purpose functions with different names in different files
  • Functions/classes missing docstrings (warn, don't block)

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.
