stacklit

stacklit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from glincker/stacklit. It costs 27 tokens per session (189 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent skill that reads Stacklit's generated codebase map to locate relevant modules and inspect dependencies before searching or editing. Stacklit is a tool that records files, symbols, and dependency relationships in structured files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find modules by purpose, inspect dependencies and dependants, read repository hints, identify files not to change, and detect when the index is stale.
Why use it?
It helps avoid broad searches and shows which code may be affected by a change, including files that depend on the code being edited.

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

stacklit 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Read stacklit.json before broad searches.

  1. Missing or stale: stacklit generate.
  2. Find the module by purpose, then read only its file_list.
  3. Before editing, check depended_by and dependencies.most_depended.
  4. New code goes where hints.add_feature says; verify with hints.test_command.
  5. Respect hints.do_not_touch.

MCP tools, if connected: get_overview, find_module, get_module, get_dependencies, list_modules, get_hot_files, get_hints.

Docs, APIs, schemas, owners: stacklit ingest, then read stacklit.context.json. Index drift: stacklit diff.

Changes

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.
