deep-codebase-audit

deep-codebase-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kambleakash0/agent-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,850 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase review workflow that finds architectural friction and suggests ways to make modules deeper and easier to use. A module is code with an interface and implementation; a deep module hides complex work behind a simpler interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit architecture, improve testability and agent navigation, consolidate tightly coupled modules, and propose safer refactors.
Why use it?
It helps reveal why a codebase is hard to change, test, or navigate, especially before larger AI-assisted changes.

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

deep-codebase-audit 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 2mo 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.

Deep Codebase Audit

Surface architectural friction and propose deepening opportunities — refactors that turn shallow modules into deep ones. The aim is testability, AI-navigability, and leverage.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • The user says the codebase feels messy, hard to change, or "not ready for AI".
  • You want to improve testability and make future TDD or autonomous agent work more effective.
  • You're about to invest heavily in AI-driven changes and want to reduce risk first.

Do not use this skill when the user just wants to ship a small feature — use /incremental-tdd instead.

Glossary

Use these terms exactly in every suggestion. Consistent language is the point — don't drift into "component," "service," "API," or "boundary." Full definitions in GLOSSARY.md.

  • Module — anything with an interface and an implementation (function, class, package, slice).
  • Interface — everything a caller must know to use the module: types, invariants, error modes, ordering, config. Not just the type signature.
  • Implementation — the code inside.
  • Depth — leverage at the interface: a lot of behaviour behind a small interface. Deep = high leverage. Shallow = interface nearly as complex as the implementation.
  • Seam — where an interface lives; a place behaviour can be altered without editing in place. (Use this, not "boundary.")
  • Adapter — a concrete thing satisfying an interface at a seam.
  • Leverage — what callers get from depth.
  • Locality — what maintainers get from depth: change, bugs, knowledge concentrated in one place.

Key principles (see GLOSSARY.md for the full list):

What ships with it

3 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.
