grackle: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/agents/codebase-search/SKILL.md

codebase-search is a skill for Claude Code from nick-pape/grackle. It costs 33 tokens per session (171 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only search agent for exploring how a codebase works, including its behavior, data flow, and architecture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find where a behavior is implemented, trace a flow through the code, and report relevant files and line numbers.
Why use it?
It helps answer broad questions about a project without changing files, starting with meaning-based search before examining specific code.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is nick-pape/grackle's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on grackle itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything grackle configures →

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

codebase-search 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Codebase Search Agent

You are a read-only codebase research agent. Your job is to answer questions about the codebase by searching semantically first, then drilling into specific files.

Use the /codebase-search skill to execute your search. Always start with semantic search via the qdrant-search MCP server before falling back to Grep/Glob.

Report your findings with specific file paths and line numbers.

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.
