repo-nav

repo-nav is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nitinbhide/tcaitoolkit. It costs 28 tokens per session (3,108 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository-navigation skill that creates Markdown index files for folders and files. These indexes explain the project structure and guide a coding agent toward the most relevant code and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate or update root and folder-level `docmap.md` files that summarize contents, architecture, dependencies, and likely change locations.
Why use it?
Large repositories can be difficult to understand from their file names alone. The indexes provide progressively more detail as an agent moves from the project root into its folders.

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

repo-nav 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 today.

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.

Project Repository Navigation Index Generation Skill

Purpose

Analyze a software repository and generate a hierarchy of index files that enables AI coding agents to rapidly understand the repository structure, architecture, implementation details, business features, dependencies, and change impact.

Generate Markdown index files (DOCMAP.md at root, docmap.md in each folder) that summarize the contents of a local repository using progressive disclosure.

This skill only generates index files and is not to be used by coding agents for project decision making.

Progressive Disclosure principle:

  1. A coding agent should be able to understand the repository at a high level by reading a small number of files.
  2. The agent should be guided toward the most relevant folders and files.
  3. Detailed information should only appear at deeper levels of the hierarchy.
  4. Each index/docmap should help the agent decide what to read next.
  5. Each index should help the agent decide what files are likely to require modification.
  6. Each child index must provide greater detail than its parent.
  7. Each parent index must summarize child content.

The primary consumers of the generated indexes are AI coding agents.

DO NOT deviate from this SKILL instructions during the execution of the repo-nav workflow.

Scope and boundaries

This skill applies only to the explicitly invoked repo-nav workflow for generating or updating DOCMAP.md and docmap.md files. It is not a general project workflow, coding standard, or replacement for project-wide rules in AGENTS.md.

Objectives

The generated indexes/docmap shall help agents:

  • Understand repository architecture
  • Understand major business capabilities
  • Locate implementation areas
  • Understand technology stacks
  • Understand dependencies
  • Locate related tests
  • Locate related specifications
  • Evaluate change impact
  • Determine which files to read
  • Determine which files to modify
  • Avoid unnecessary repository exploration

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.

repo-nav is a skill published in the GitHub repository nitinbhide/tcaitoolkit (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 3,108 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-11.
