flash-explorer

A code-exploration skill for the RunPod Flash framework, a software framework for running code-related workloads. It uses a code-intelligence database to inspect symbols, classes, files, decorators, and relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find a class or method, inspect a file’s symbols, list classes, understand class interfaces, or find functions marked with a particular decorator.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to understand an unfamiliar codebase before changing it. This makes it easier to locate definitions and see how parts of the framework connect.

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

flash-explorer 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 yesterday.

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.

Flash Framework Explorer Skill

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Exploring the runpod-flash framework codebase
  • Understanding class hierarchies and relationships
  • Finding where methods or classes are defined
  • Checking what decorators are used in the codebase
  • Getting a quick overview of file structure

Workflow

Step 1: Query the Code Intelligence Database FIRST

Before reading any files, use the MCP code intelligence tools:

Finding a symbol:

  • Use find_symbol tool with the symbol name

Understanding a class:

  • Use get_class_interface tool with the class name

Exploring a file:

  • Use list_file_symbols tool with the file path

Finding decorated functions:

  • Use find_by_decorator tool (e.g., decorator="remote")

Listing all classes:

  • Use list_classes tool

Step 1.5: NEVER Use Bash Commands for MCP Tool Tasks

PROHIBITED patterns - use MCP tools instead:

DO NOT use tail, grep, or cat for test output analysis ✅ DO use parse_test_output MCP tool after running tests

DO NOT use grep or find to search for symbols/classes/methods ✅ DO use find_symbol, list_classes, or find_by_decorator MCP tools

DO NOT use Read tool to scan files for class definitions or interfaces ✅ DO use get_class_interface or list_file_symbols MCP tools

Step 2: Only Read Full Files When Necessary

After querying the code intelligence database, only use the Read tool if:

  • You need to understand the implementation details
  • The database doesn't have the specific information you need
  • You need to see the full context around a symbol

Analyzing Test Results

After running tests (make test-unit, make test, pytest), ALWAYS use parse_test_output MCP tool to analyze results:

Good - Use MCP tool (~200 tokens):

  1. Run: make test-unit
  2. Pass output to parse_test_output MCP tool
  3. Get structured failures, coverage, passed tests, summary
  4. No manual parsing needed

Bad - Using bash commands (~20,000+ tokens):

  1. Run: make test-unit > output.txt
  2. Use tail, cat, or grep on output file
  3. Manually parse failures and coverage
  4. Excessive token usage, poor context extraction

flash-explorer is a skill published in the GitHub repository runpod/flash (182 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,032 tokens. 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.
