deep-analysis

deep-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from MadAppGang/magus. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,694 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured, evidence-based review of a whole codebase across seven areas, including architecture and code health. It produces scored findings and is intended for broad reviews rather than a single-file question.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for comprehensive code reviews, technical-debt planning, major refactors, architecture decisions, security audits and post-incident analysis.
Why use it?
It helps reveal connected problems, technical debt and root causes that a narrow code check may miss. It also gives people joining an unfamiliar project a broader picture of how the code is built.

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-analysis 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 6d 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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deep analysis

A multi-dimensional audit. Retrieval mechanics live in the code-search skill and single-thread investigation in investigate; this skill is the dimension set, the verdict definitions, and the report contract.

When this is the right depth

  • A review asked for as comprehensive, full, or end-to-end
  • A bug that crosses more than one system
  • A major refactor or an architecture decision record
  • Tech-debt assessment and prioritisation
  • Onboarding someone to an unfamiliar codebase
  • Post-incident root-cause analysis
  • A security audit
  • One dimension was already investigated and proved insufficient

Discipline

  • Never rank-truncate a result set — narrow with scope, not with head.
  • An error and an empty result mean opposite things. Establish which you have.
  • A clean result is a finding. "No dead code found" is evidence of hygiene; report it with the threshold that produced it rather than dropping it.
  • Validate relevance, not just success. If none of the query's key terms appear in the results, reformulate rather than build on them.
  • Name the method behind every finding, including the dimensions where lexical search was the correct tool.
  • Blocked, never stalled. A subagent cannot ask the user a question. Return a result beginning BLOCKED: naming what is missing and what would unblock it, and let the dispatching orchestrator ask.
  • Centrality is relative — tiers, not numbers. An absent centrality means unknown.

The seven dimensions

# Dimension Question Primary signal
1 Architecture What is the shape, and what are its pillars? Highest-centrality symbols are the architecture. Layers from presentation / business / data vocabularies; patterns from factory, interface, event vocabularies
2 Implementation How does the critical path actually run? Outbound edges of the high-centrality symbols (dependencies), inbound edges of the critical functions (usage), full context for the complex ones
3 Test coverage What is untested that matters? Inbound edges filtered to test files. High centrality plus zero test callers = critical gap
4 Reliability How does it fail, and does it recover? Error-handling chains via full context; exception flow via throw/error/exception vocabulary; inbound edges of custom error types; retry/fallback/circuit-breaker vocabulary
5 Security Where are the trust boundaries? Authentication entry points with both edge directions; authorization via permission/role/guard vocabulary; sensitive data via password/hash/token/secret vocabulary; inbound edges of encryption
6 Performance What is structurally slow? Database and batch query patterns, async and parallel patterns, cache and memoize patterns
7 Code health What is rotting? Dead code split by centrality, and test gaps with the full impact pulled for the critical ones

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.

deep-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository MadAppGang/magus (9 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,694 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
