local-project-context

local-project-context is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,323 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to working safely in a local code checkout, the copy of a project on a developer's machine. It covers exploring the code, using the task workspace, and running builds and tests before hand-off.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a task, examining an unfamiliar repository, or checking code with build, test, and other verification commands.
Why use it?
It prevents changes based on wrong paths or assumptions about old build files, running services, databases, or test results. Local verification catches problems before another person sees the work.

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

local-project-context 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 5d 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.

Local Project Context

Overview

You run on a local developer machine, not in a CI/CD pipeline. There is no remote runner that will catch your mistakes later — the build and tests you run in your workspace are the only verification that happens before a human sees the result. Treat your workspace as production's last line of defense.

Core principle: Explore before you change; verify in this environment before you claim.

The environment

  • Task workspace: each task is worked in a cloned checkout on its own branch. Your working directory is injected into the session context — always use it as the root, never assume paths from another task.
  • Live codebase: your changes take effect immediately in the workspace. There is no separate deploy step for verification.
  • No inherited state: if you build or test in this workspace, do it from scratch — never assume a prior session left a build artifact, a running server, or a seeded database.

Exploration tools (use before changing code)

Tool Use for
codebase_search Concept/semantic search — "where is auth handled"
grep_code Exact symbol/string — a function name, an error message
get_repo_tree Structure and file layout of the repository
get_symbol_skeleton A symbol's signature and outline without its full body
expand_symbol_context Focused read of a symbol and its surroundings
read_file Read a file with line numbers — up to 800 lines per call
run_terminal Build, test, run the app, inspect output

File tools (use instead of the shell for anything touching a file)

Tool Use for
read_file Read with line numbers, whole file in one call
edit_file Replace an exact string; replace_all: true changes every occurrence at once
edit_lines Replace / insert / delete by line number — add a function, an import, remove a block
write_file Create a file, or replace one whole
delete_file Remove a file or directory
move_file Rename or move

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.
