symbiote-scan

symbiote-scan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MohmmedAshraf/symbiote. It costs 77 tokens per session (470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-rescan skill that rebuilds Symbiote's knowledge graph from the current codebase. A knowledge graph is a structured map of files, symbols, and their relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for rescanning project structure, symbols, and call relationships, optionally regenerating search embeddings or forcing a clean scan.
Why use it?
It updates the agent's project context after refactoring, large changes, or stale search results.

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

symbiote-scan scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Symbiote Rescan

Trigger a full codebase rescan to update the knowledge graph with latest file changes.

When to Use

  • After significant refactoring or restructuring
  • When symbiote's context feels stale or out of date
  • After pulling large changesets from remote
  • When semantic search returns outdated results

Process

Step 1: Check Server Status

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:$(cat .brain/port)/internal/health 2>/dev/null || echo "not running"

If not running, start it after the scan completes.

Step 2: Run the Scan

For a standard rescan (structure + symbols + call graph):

npx -y symbiote-cli scan

For a full rescan with embedding regeneration (slower, enables better semantic search):

npx -y symbiote-cli scan --embeddings

To force a clean rescan ignoring cached state:

npx -y symbiote-cli scan --force

Step 3: Restart Server (if was running)

If the server was running before the scan, restart it to pick up the new graph:

npx -y symbiote-cli serve --no-open > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Wait for it:

sleep 3 && curl -s http://127.0.0.1:$(cat .brain/port)/internal/health

Step 4: Verify

Use the get_project_overview MCP tool to confirm the updated stats (file count, node count, edge count).

Output

One line:

Symbiote rescan complete — {N} files indexed, {N} nodes, {N} edges.
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.
