extract-features

extract-features is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from me2resh/apexyard. It costs 36 tokens per session (8,981 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase inspection tool that creates a detailed list of the routes, data models, background jobs, tests, screens, and documented features in an existing project. It is intended as a specification for rebuilding the project with a different technology.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before rewriting an unfamiliar application to catalogue what the current system exposes. It can also provide the basis for per-feature diagrams after the inventory is created.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of forgetting existing behavior during a rewrite. A greenfield rewrite means building the replacement as a new project instead of modifying the old one.

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

extract-features 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (tests/smoke-mockups.sh, tests/smoke.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

/extract-features — Feature Inventory for Greenfield Rewrites

Walks the target project's codebase across six discovery axes and writes a consolidated Feature Inventory. The artefact is the "what we must preserve" specification for a greenfield rewrite (different language, framework, or architecture) — instead of reverse-engineering features one route at a time, hand the inventory to the rewrite team.

This skill complements /handover:

  • /handover produces a high-level project assessment — origin, current health, integration plan, applicable roles. The output is the bridge between "we just inherited this codebase" and "this codebase is now governed by our normal SDLC".
  • /extract-features produces a granular feature catalogue — every route, model, job, test name, UI screen, and documented capability the existing system exposes. The output is the input to a greenfield-rewrite spec.

Run /handover first when adopting an unfamiliar repo; run /extract-features second when you've decided to rewrite it.

See also: /feature-diagram <feature-slug> — once the inventory exists, this skill emits a per-feature Mermaid sub-graph (routes + models + jobs + screens for one feature) at projects/<name>/features/<slug>.md. The inventory's Feature column gains a link to each per-feature diagram. Sibling to /c4 (system topology) and /dfd (data flows) in the architecture-doc family — different lens (per-feature slice) on the same codebase. See AgDR-0035 for the design rationale.

Discovery walks across all six axes — documentSymbol, references, definition queries — are the obvious win for LSP. With ENABLE_LSP_TOOL=1 + per-language plugin (per docs/getting-started.md § "Optional: LSP-aware code navigation"), route-handler enumeration, model walks, and test-name extraction are ~3-15× cheaper in token cost than grep + Read. Without LSP, the skill falls back to grep transparently using the framework signatures listed below. No new failure mode, just optional speed.

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.

extract-features is a skill published in the GitHub repository me2resh/apexyard (498 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 8,981 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 2026-08-30.
