analyzing-source-project

analyzing-source-project is a skill for Claude Code from qte77/claude-code-plugins. It costs 44 tokens per session (664 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for assessing what a software project can do by examining its source, configuration, architecture, technologies, strengths, and limitations. It produces a structured capability profile for later market analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review source projects, inventory their technology and modules, identify differentiators and limits, and prepare input for go-to-market research.
Why use it?
Planning a product or launch without understanding the underlying project can lead to unsupported claims and poor decisions. This workflow gathers technical evidence first.

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

analyzing-source-project 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 17d 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.

Analyzing Source Project (Phase 0)

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Phase 0 of the GTM pipeline. Produces a technical capability profile of the source project that feeds Phase 1B (researching-market).

Mode Awareness

Read config/mode.md before starting:

  • concise — Bullet summaries, 3-5 points per section
  • detailed — Full narrative with evidence and code references
  • conservative — Focus on proven, documented capabilities
  • ambitious — Highlight unrealized potential and extension opportunities

Inputs

  • config/sources.md — Source projects to analyze
  • config/comments_research.md — Research constraints and focus areas
  • config/mode.md — Style and approach settings

Workflow

  1. Identify source projects from config/sources.md
  2. Clone or fetch the repository if a URL is provided (use WebFetch for public repos)
  3. Assess architecture — Directory structure, module boundaries, design patterns
  4. Inventory tech stack — Languages, frameworks, dependencies, infrastructure hints
  5. Extract differentiators — What does this project do unusually well?
  6. Identify limitations — Scalability ceilings, missing features, tech debt signals
  7. Rate capabilities — Score each capability area (1-5) with rationale
  8. Validate against criteria — Check config/validation_criteria.md Phase 0 gates

Output

Write to results/phase-0/:

capability-profile.md

# Source Project Capability Profile

## Project: [name]

## Architecture Summary
[Overview of system design and key components]

## Tech Stack
- Language: [language + version]
- Framework: [framework]
- Key dependencies: [list]

## Differentiating Capabilities
1. [Capability] — Score: [1-5] — Evidence: [file/feature reference]
2. ...

## Limitations and Risks
- [Limitation] — Impact: [High/Medium/Low]

## GTM-Relevant Technical Signals
[How technical characteristics translate to market positioning opportunities]

Rules

  • Ground every capability claim in observable code or documentation evidence
  • Distinguish between current state and aspirational/roadmap features
  • Limitations are as important as strengths for honest PMF assessment
  • Cross-reference with config/comments_research.md scope constraints

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.
