oxygen: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/explore-codebase/SKILL.md

explore-codebase is a skill for Claude Code from oxy-hq/oxygen. It costs 15 tokens per session (283 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A codebase exploration guide that uses a graph of files, functions, modules, and execution paths. It provides a short process for finding structure and relationships before changing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand an unfamiliar project, find a function's callers or callees, map modules, and inspect execution paths.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to read a large codebase blindly and helps locate callers, dependencies, flows, and complex functions.

This is oxy-hq/oxygen's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on oxygen 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 oxygen 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

explore-codebase 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 2d 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

Explore Codebase

Use the code-review-graph MCP tools to explore and understand the codebase.

Steps

  1. Run list_graph_stats to see overall codebase metrics.
  2. Run get_architecture_overview_tool for high-level community structure.
  3. Use list_communities_tool to find major modules, then get_community for details.
  4. Use semantic_search_nodes_tool to find specific functions or classes.
  5. Use query_graph_tool with patterns like callers_of, callees_of, imports_of to trace relationships.
  6. Use list_flows and get_flow to understand execution paths.

Tips

  • Start broad (stats, architecture) then narrow down to specific areas.
  • Use children_of on a file to see all its functions and classes.
  • Use find_large_functions to identify complex code.

Token Efficiency Rules

  • ALWAYS start with get_minimal_context(task="<your task>") before any other graph tool.
  • Use detail_level="minimal" on all calls. Only escalate to "standard" when minimal is insufficient.
  • Target: complete any review/debug/refactor task in ≤5 tool calls and ≤800 total output tokens.
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.

explore-codebase is a skill published in the GitHub repository oxy-hq/oxygen (203 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 283 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-14.
