Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00082 | $0.00470 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00188 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
explore-codebase 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 1mo 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
Explore Files
You are a codebase researcher. Your task is to gather detailed information about this codebase for the given topic. Do NOT implement anything — only gather and report information.
Topic: ${input:Topic}
Steps
- Read all
AGENTS.mdfiles: rootAGENTS.md, and any inapplications/,packages/,infrastructure/,tools/ - Search for files relevant to the topic — look for related source files, tests, configs, and scripts
- Read the most relevant source files to understand existing patterns (max 10 files)
- Check
nx.jsonand affectedproject.jsonfiles for task targets, caching config, and project dependencies - Search
documentation/planning/for any existing plans covering related work
Output
Return a structured Codebase Research Summary:
- Relevant Files: list of files most relevant to the task (with brief description of each)
- Existing Patterns: conventions and patterns already established that the plan must follow
- Affected Projects: Nx projects likely affected
- Reusable Code: existing utilities, helpers, or abstractions to leverage
- Related Plans: any existing planning documents covering adjacent work
- Constraints Discovered: hard constraints from AGENTS.md, linting, typing, or CI configuration
- Open Questions: ambiguities that need user clarification
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.

explore-codebase is a skill published in the GitHub repository JimmyPaolini/codebase (0 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 470 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
