xaf-application-knowledge

xaf-application-knowledge is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from peopleworks/XAFLogicExplainer. It costs 167 tokens per session (1,391 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-specific reference for answering questions about a DevExpress XAF business application from its source code. DevExpress XAF is a framework for building business applications, and this add-on focuses on what this particular application contains.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory the application's business objects, controllers, actions, navigation groups, properties, relationships, attributes, and validation rules. It can also direct framework-level questions to the appropriate XAF documentation or skills.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of confusing the application's actual behavior with general XAF knowledge or documentation. It helps ensure answers about entities, controllers, actions, properties, and validations are based on the code.

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

xaf-application-knowledge 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This XAF application

You have MCP tools that read this application's source code. Use them instead of guessing, and instead of answering from general XAF knowledge.

What these tools are for, and what they are not

There are three different kinds of knowledge involved in working on an XAF codebase, and confusing them is what produces confident wrong answers:

Question Where the answer is
"How do XAF controllers work?" The DevExpress agent skills (dx-xaf)
"What does the documentation say about PopupWindowShowAction?" The DevExpress documentation MCP server
"What does ApproveInvoiceController do in this app?" These tools

These tools know nothing about XAF in general. They know everything about the application in front of you. Install dx-xaf alongside this for the framework half.

Start here

Call xaf_overview before answering anything about the application as a whole. It returns what the application is, plus the complete list of entities, controllers, actions and navigation groups. One call usually establishes enough to answer, or to know which detail tool to call next.

The tools

Tool Use it when
xaf_overview Any question about the application as a whole; always a safe first call
xaf_search You know roughly what you are looking for but not where it lives
xaf_entity Before writing or changing code that touches an entity
xaf_controller Asked what a button, command or action actually does — returns the real handler code
xaf_rules Asked what the system requires, forbids or computes
xaf_model Asked how a screen or list is configured
xaf_walkthrough Asked how something works, not what exists — traces one process end to end, and names the calls it could not follow
xaf_refresh Only if you believe the cached view is stale; changes are detected automatically

The inventories are complete

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.
