repo-graph-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from James-Chahwan/repo-graph. It costs 37 tokens per session (273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool that builds or refreshes a structural map of a code repository for other repo-graph tools to use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting repo-graph in a project, rebuilding its map, or adding it permanently through an MCP configuration file.
Why use it?
It gives code-navigation tools an up-to-date view of files, symbols, and connections, especially after a large refactor.

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

repo-graph-init 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 11d 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

repo-graph init

Build the graph so the other skills have something to read.

When to use

  • First time using repo-graph in a repo (no graph yet).
  • After a large refactor or branch switch — the graph is stale.

Steps

  1. First use: call refresh (optionally repo_path=<local path or git URL>). It scans with tree-sitter, runs the cross-stack resolvers, and caches the result. (The server also builds the graph automatically on first connect, so this is only needed to force it.)

  2. After code changes: call refresh again — incremental, so only changed files re-parse. Add full=true to force a clean reparse. Routine edits are picked up automatically by the file watcher.

  3. To add repo-graph to a project for good, drop an .mcp.json at the repo root:

    {"mcpServers":{"repo-graph":{"command":"uvx","args":["mcp-repo-graph","--repo","."]}}}
    
  4. Call orient to confirm it loaded.

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.
