update-codebase-map

A tool for updating an existing map of a codebase after files change. It makes targeted edits to the map instead of rebuilding it from scratch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after code changes to find affected documentation, refresh it, and keep the map consistent with the repository.
Why use it?
It prevents architecture notes from becoming outdated as the project evolves. It requires an existing map in `.claude/.codebase-info/`.

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 B, and why

update-codebase-map scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update Codebase Map

Bring an existing map up to date with surgical edits — detect changes, touch only the affected documents, keep everything internally consistent. This is a refresh, not a full rewrite.

Prerequisite

A .claude/.codebase-info/ directory with INDEX.md must already exist. If it doesn't, stop and use the map-codebase skill to create the initial map.

Process

Step 1 — Load current state

Read .claude/.codebase-info/.map-state.json to get gitCommit, mappedAt, and the list of existing documents. Skim INDEX.md to recall what's already covered. (If .map-state.json is missing — e.g. a map from an older version — fall back to the mappedAt date in INDEX.md, and plan to write a fresh .map-state.json at the end.)

Step 2 — Detect what changed

Git repo (preferred — precise): diff against the last-mapped commit.

git diff --stat <gitCommit>..HEAD          # which files changed, added, deleted
git log --oneline <gitCommit>..HEAD        # what the changes were about
git diff <gitCommit>..HEAD -- package.json pyproject.toml go.mod Cargo.toml composer.json Gemfile   # dependency churn (adjust to the project's manifests)

No git, or no stored commit (fallback): find source files modified since the map was written.

# files newer than the index (skip noise dirs)
find . -type f -newer .claude/.codebase-info/INDEX.md \
  -not -path '*/.git/*' -not -path '*/node_modules/*' -not -path '*/vendor/*' \
  -not -path '*/dist/*' -not -path '*/build/*' -not -path '*/target/*' -not -path '*/.venv/*'

Step 2a — Decide whether to hand off

Do not ask the user whether to update the map, run this skill, or create a handoff. Decide using this process, announce the applicable documentation-check outcome, and immediately perform the warranted update or handoff without waiting for a reply.

A true no-op stays inline: report that no documented behavior, structure, interface, dependency, or convention changed, then leave the map alone. Do not create a ticket merely to refresh timestamps or state.

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-codebase-map is a skill published in the GitHub repository Eigenwise/eigenwise-toolshed (36 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,878 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
