code-import

code-import is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nexu-io/open-design. It costs 32 tokens per session (594 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository-reading step that records a project's files, components, routes, framework, styling system, and package details in structured files. A repository is the folder containing a project's source code and related files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the starting point for code migrations, design extraction, rewrite planning, or other repository analysis.
Why use it?
It gives later work a stable snapshot to analyse instead of repeatedly scanning the whole codebase.

About the project

OpenDesign is an open-source, local-first desktop app that lets coding agents create prototypes, dashboards, slide decks, images, video, and design systems as exportable files. It is used by people working with agent runtimes such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and DeepSeek Harness. The catalogue add-ons extend the OpenDesign workflow with skills, instructions, commands, and plugins.

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

code-import 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 yesterday.

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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code import

Spec §10 / §21.3.2: a code-migration / tune-collab run starts from a real repo (cloned via od project import or a path the user provided). This atom turns the raw checkout into a normalised on-disk record that subsequent atoms (design-extract, rewrite-plan, patch-edit) operate against. The point is to stop re-walking the tree on every turn — the agent reads code/index.json once and trusts the snapshot until the next explicit re-import.

Inputs

Source Required Notes
repoPath yes Absolute path to the repo's root, supplied via od project import or an upstream od.context.assets[] reference
targetStack yes { framework, packageManager, styleSystem, componentLibrary } via the matching form GenUI surface

Output

project-cwd/
└── code/
    ├── index.json         # { files: { path, size, language, imports[] }[], packageJson?, lockfileKind, framework, styleSystem }
    ├── components.json    # detected components with file path + props snapshot
    ├── routes.json        # detected routing model (next/app, react-router, vite-router, …)
    └── meta.json          # { repoPath, gitSha, walkedAt, atomDigest, walkBudgetMs }

code/index.json is the input every other Phase 7 atom reads. The walk respects the runner's budgetMs option (default 60s) so large monorepos don't burn an entire run on import.

Convergence

The atom completes when code/index.json exists and contains at least one entry. Empty repos abort with a clear error event so the user re-imports.

Anti-patterns the prompt fragment forbids

  • Walking node_modules / .git / .next / dist / build (record in code/index.json.skipped[] with reason).
  • Inferring a framework from a single file; require at least package.json's declared dep + a build-config presence (next.config.*, vite.config.*, etc.).
  • Treating commented-out imports as live edges.

Status

Implemented by the daemon runner in apps/daemon/src/plugins/atoms/code-import.ts. The walker enforces its exclusions and time budget, detects framework evidence, and writes code/index.json.

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.
