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.

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 | $0.00038 | $0.00612 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00245 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00122 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00061 |
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.
How it starts
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.mdfor 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)
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.

update-code-index is a skill published in the GitHub repository brain-bootstrap/claude-code-brain-bootstrap (11 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 612 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
