analyze-agent-codebase

analyze-agent-codebase is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ProsusAI/prism. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,475 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A phased architectural review of an agent-based AI codebase, meaning software where AI components perform tasks or make decisions. It indexes the repository, examines relevant parts in clusters, and combines the findings into a final analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document the codebase's tools, models, data entities, tests, architecture, and implementation patterns. The process runs analysis clusters sequentially using an index.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to understand a large AI codebase without reading every file for every question. Evidence is tied to specific files, and inventories make components and tests easier to check.

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

analyze-agent-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 2mo 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.

Analyze Agent Codebase Skill

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user wants to perform a comprehensive architectural analysis of an agentic AI codebase.

Instructions

Analyze the target codebase in four phases.

Each cluster has its own questions file in the skill directory (e.g. questions_cluster_a.md).

Global Token Rules

  • Do NOT launch parallel subagents.
  • Run clusters sequentially.
  • Do NOT read the entire repository per cluster.
  • Read ONLY the assigned cluster questions file.
  • Read ONLY files relevant to the cluster questions.
  • Index-driven lookup only — when a section says "Find" or "Find and read", do not search the filesystem. Use the Key File Registry in index.md (already in context from Cluster A) to identify candidate files, then read only those. If a topic has no matching registry entry, write: Not indexed — verify Phase 1 captured all relevant files.

Global Output Rules

  • Iventories: always use tables (tools, models, entities, tests)
  • Findings with evidence: always use bullet points in format - [finding] — evidence: path/to/file.ext:Lxx
  • Comparisons or yes/no pattern checks: always use a table with columns: Pattern | Implemented | Evidence
  • Evidence format: path/to/file.ext:Lxx-Lyy
  • NO prose or narrative explanations (except Section 14: Decision Extraction and Classification).
  • NO restating questions.
  • NO long evidence excerpts.
  • Do NOT duplicate findings across sections.
  • Write each cluster file immediately after completion.

Per-section Output Format:

  • Provide Finding: what is implemented in the codebase.
  • Provide Evidence: exact file path and line number (file.py:Lxx) with a direct code quote.
  • If nothing is implemented, write exactly: No implementation.
  • If partially implemented, write: Partial — [what exists] / [what's missing].
  • Separate implemented-and-active, implemented-but-disabled, and not-implemented items.
  • Do not speculate. Only use code-level evidence.

Output all results to {CODEBASE_ROOT}/_analysis/ directory inside the target codebase root.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

analyze-agent-codebase is a skill published in the GitHub repository ProsusAI/prism (20 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,475 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 2026-08-30.
