squadai: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/sdd-explore/SKILL.md

sdd-explore is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PedroMosquera/squadai. It costs 15 tokens per session (443 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase investigation phase in specification-driven development. It traces where behavior starts, how data moves, what depends on what, and which parts of the code may constrain a proposed change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find entry points, follow data through a system, map internal and external dependencies, identify complex or poorly tested code, and record existing commitments.
Why use it?
It gives the team context before anyone proposes a solution. This reduces the risk of overlooking public interfaces, side effects, performance limits, security requirements, or difficult areas of the code.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is PedroMosquera/squadai's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on squadai 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 squadai 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

sdd-explore 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 15d 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

SDD Explore Skill

Analyze an existing codebase to gather context before proposing solutions. This is the first phase of the SDD pipeline: understand before proposing.

Steps

  1. Identify entry points: Find where the relevant system behavior begins.

    • Main functions, HTTP handlers, CLI commands, event listeners
    • Public API surfaces (exported functions, interfaces)
    • Configuration loading points
  2. Trace data flow: Follow data through the system.

    • How does input enter the system?
    • What transformations does it undergo?
    • Where is data persisted or returned?
    • What are the side effects?
  3. Map dependencies: Understand what depends on what.

    • Internal package dependencies
    • External library dependencies
    • Interface boundaries and their implementations
    • Circular dependency risks
  4. Identify hotspots: Flag areas of concern.

    • Files changed frequently in git log
    • Code with high complexity or low test coverage
    • Undocumented magic behavior
    • Areas where the feature request will require changes
  5. Document constraints: Note existing commitments.

    • Public API contracts that must not break
    • Performance SLAs or resource limits
    • Security requirements (auth, input validation)
    • Compatibility requirements (old data formats, deprecated paths)
  6. Summarize for the Proposer: Produce a context document.

    • Overview of relevant system components
    • Key data structures and their relationships
    • Constraints the Proposer must respect
    • Open questions that need clarification

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.
