codebase-context

codebase-context is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GabsFranke/claude-code-github-agent. It costs 156 tokens per session (1,407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-understanding skill for exploring a codebase and tracing how its parts relate to one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during code reviews, pull-request analysis, architecture checks, call-graph tracing, and searches for code by concept.
Why use it?
It reduces the time needed to find definitions, references, dependencies, API routes, and the likely impact of a change.

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

codebase-context 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 26d 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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codebase Context Tools

You have CodeGraph MCP tools and built-in Claude Code tools for code exploration. Use them in order — start cheap, escalate only when needed.

Structural Map (always available)

When your session starts, you receive a repomap — a compact structural overview of the entire codebase injected into your system prompt. It shows ranked definitions (classes, functions, methods) with line numbers, like a table of contents:

shared/sdk_factory.py:
  32│ class SDKOptionsBuilder
  58│ function build_options
 124│ method with_memory_mcp
services/sandbox_executor/sandbox_worker.py:
  25│ function main
 142│ function process_job

Generated via tree-sitter parsing and reference graph ranking, so the most important/referenced definitions appear first. Use it to:

  • Quickly locate where things are defined before reading files
  • Understand the overall shape of the codebase
  • Know which files matter most for a given task

The repomap is personalized toward files relevant to your task (e.g., changed files in a PR review).

CodeGraph MCP Tools (needs codegraph init -i)

These 10+ tools use the code graph (call edges, import edges, inheritance) via the CodeGraph MCP server. They run as a separate stdio MCP server (codegraph serve --mcp) and query a local SQLite database. If CodeGraph is not installed, these tools are simply unavailable — no errors, just no graph intelligence.

codegraph_search

Find symbols by name across the codebase. Returns kind, location, and signature.

codegraph_context

Primary discovery tool. One call returns entry points, related symbols, and code snippets. Use this first for "how does X work?" questions.

codegraph_context(task="how does the queue handle retries")

codegraph_trace

Trace the call path between two symbols ("how does X reach Y"). Each hop includes the source body inline. Follows dynamic-dispatch hops that grep can't.

codegraph_trace(from="process_job", to="execute_sdk_loop")

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.
