qodo-codebase-wisdom

qodo-codebase-wisdom is a skill for Codex from qodo-ai/qodo-skills. It costs 157 tokens per session (2,904 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Qodo-assisted guide to understanding how a codebase works, how earlier changes were made, and which repositories depend on one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer codebase questions, plan changes, investigate regressions, and define the scope of a fix.
Why use it?
It provides evidence from code and history when the needed repository is not available locally or when a change crosses repository boundaries.

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

qodo-codebase-wisdom 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codebase Wisdom

Description

Use the qodo CLI to learn how code works, how a change was done before, and how repos are coupled — then hand back cited findings. This feeds answering a question, planning a change, debugging a regression, or scoping a fix. It reaches repos you don't have on disk and spans repo boundaries. You drive qodo's read tools only; you never post to the forge.

Prerequisites

  • The Qodo CLI is installed and the user can authenticate with qodo login.
  • The workspace exposes the required read-only Codebase, pull-request, or cross-repo tools.
  • The current provider-owned Qodo skill package is loaded in this agent session.

Instructions

Follow the detailed workflow below in order: preserve update notices, confirm the live tool contract, resolve the repository, narrow the search, and return only evidence-backed findings.

Handle a skill update notice

A Qodo command can emit QODO_NOTICE <json> to stderr while still succeeding. When code is qodo_skill_update_available, keep the command's result and finish the current task. Then follow the notice's steps: do read-only inventory first, resolve the installed Qodo package and scope, show the exact lifecycle-owner update command or UI action, and ask once before any mutation. If the user declines, keep the current version usable.

Never invoke a different lifecycle owner, guess a placeholder, or install an optional package implicitly. After an approved update, ask for the host restart named by the notice; the current session may still have the old skill loaded.

Runtime compatibility gate

First resolve the executable using the qodo: command not found fallback below. Before any other Qodo command, run <qodo> --version exactly as shown, with no provenance flags. This unadorned probe is intentionally compatible with older Qodo CLIs. This skill requires Qodo CLI 0.1.0-next.37 or newer.

If the version is older or cannot be parsed, do not run whoami, login, or a managed tool and do not describe the failure as an authentication problem. Explain that the skill is newer than the runtime, show qodo update as the update command for the runtime's already-recorded origin, and ask once before running it. For a customer deployment, keep its organization-provided update origin; never switch it to the public service. After an approved update, rerun the unadorned version probe and continue only when it satisfies the minimum. If the user declines or the update fails, stop with the current skill and user files unchanged.

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.
