codexkit-repo-onboarding

codexkit-repo-onboarding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoavdc/CodexKit. It costs 31 tokens per session (518 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository onboarding guide is a short map of an unfamiliar codebase. It explains the technology stack, package manager, application entry points, important folders, quality checks, deployment hooks, and likely risk areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a repository, locate runtime paths, find tests and build commands, identify generated or sensitive code, and choose a safe first task.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when joining a project and helps developers find the real way the application runs before changing code.

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

codexkit-repo-onboarding 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 yesterday.

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.

Repo Onboarding

Use this skill when entering an unfamiliar repository and you need a dependable first-pass map before making changes.

Objectives

  • identify the main runtime and package manager
  • locate the actual app entrypoints instead of guessing
  • surface tests, linting, build, and deployment hooks
  • call out fragile areas, generated code, and secret-handling risk

Workflow

  1. Read the top-level manifest, README, and directory structure.
  2. Find the real execution path from entrypoint to key modules.
  3. Identify quality gates: lint, type-check, tests, e2e, build.
  4. Summarize the codebase in a compact architecture note.
  5. Propose the safest next step for the current task.

Deliverable

Produce a short onboarding brief with:

  • stack summary
  • critical directories
  • commands worth running
  • likely risk zones
  • open questions that truly block execution

Avoid

  • rewriting architecture docs before the repo is understood
  • assuming the largest folder is the main app
  • recommending broad refactors during onboarding

Quality Criteria

  • Steps are executable in sequence without external context
  • Decision points have clear if/then branching
  • Rollback or abort procedures are documented for risky steps
  • Expected duration or time-per-step is estimated

Verification (4C)

Check Question
Correctness Do the steps execute correctly in the order specified?
Completeness Are decision points, error handling, and escalation paths all documented?
Context-fit Could someone with the right access but no prior context complete this runbook?
Consequence If Step N fails and the operator skips to Step N+1, what breaks?

Edge Cases

  • Steps require access the operator doesn't have — Document exact access requirements upfront. Include escalation contact for emergency access.
  • Environment differs from documented state — Add a pre-flight check as Step 0 to verify prerequisites before starting.
  • Runbook is triggered during off-hours — Document who to contact and which steps can be safely deferred to business hours.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
