callidescope-configure

callidescope-configure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JimmyPaolini/codebase. It costs 170 tokens per session (4,005 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for configuring callidescope, a command-line tool that traces TypeScript call graphs and checks their depth, breadth, and module spread.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up callidescope.config.ts, choose entry points and limits, run checks, and decide when reports should be written or only displayed.
Why use it?
It explains which command options control failures, reports, addresses, exclusions, and output without changing files accidentally.

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

callidescope-configure 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 331 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Telling callidescope what to do

Two surfaces, read together on every run: the flags on the command line, and the callidescope.config.ts they layer over. Neither is complete on its own — --check names a limit the file has to have set, and a destination in the file is only written when a flag asks for it.

The two decisions a run makes

Every invocation answers two independent questions, and neither implies the other:

Question Answered by
What does this run fail on? --check, a comma-separated set
What does this run rewrite? --write, plus the destinations in the configuration

A run given neither --write nor --check reports reads no destination and rewrites none. It traces, prints, and exits. That is what makes a bare run safe to type inside somebody's checkout, and it is why --check depth on a pull request leaves every committed report exactly as it found it.

The flags

Flag Meaning
-a, --addresses Comma-separated callable addresses, each <file>#<qualified-name>. depth and breadth only. Prompted for when omitted
--config Path to a callidescope.config.ts. Searched for when omitted
-d, --directories Comma-separated project directories to trace, each holding its own tsconfig.json
-f, --format markdown, mermaid, or json, for what it prints. Markdown by default
--json Path to write the machine-readable report to
-m, --markdown Path to splice the markdown block into
--check Fail on a comma-separated set drawn from breadth, depth, and reports
--write Write every configured destination

--config, --directories, and --format are the three that depth and breadth also take, and --addresses is theirs alone — it names what to report on, which a whole-workspace trace never needs. The rest are the whole-workspace command's alone, because a lookup never writes or compares a destination.

--check takes a set, and the set matters

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.

callidescope-configure is a skill published in the GitHub repository JimmyPaolini/codebase (0 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 170 tokens to every session and 4,005 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
