repo-scan

repo-scan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sawrus/agent-guides. It costs 106 tokens per session (1,080 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-analysis skill that scans one or more local Git repositories for activity, metrics, dependencies, and possible quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan repositories offline, optionally send scan summaries to an AI model, or propose and verify quality gates.
Why use it?
It helps you understand how repositories relate and where verification gates may be useful without running their code during the static scan.

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

repo-scan 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/repo-scan.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

repo-scan

Runs tools/repo-scan of agent-guides through the wrapper <skill base>/scripts/repo-scan.sh (path relative to this skill's directory). The wrapper finds agent-guides (or clones it), checks requirements, applies the settings and calls the tool.

  • Stage 1 (scan) is static and offline. It never runs code of the analyzed repositories and never commits to them.
  • Stage 2 (llm) sends the stage 1 summary and short excerpts (README, Makefile, CI) to an LLM.
  • run does both stages in one command.

Parameters (ask the user when unclear)

User asks for Command
one repository, both stages repo-scan.sh run <repo dir>
one repository, static only repo-scan.sh scan <repo dir>
many repositories, both stages repo-scan.sh run [<group dir> ...] (no arguments: REPO_SCAN_ROOTS)
many repositories, static only repo-scan.sh scan [<group dir> ...]
LLM over an earlier scan repo-scan.sh llm [<repo> ...] [--limit N]
gate candidates / verification repo-scan.sh gate-propose [<repo> ...] / repo-scan.sh gate-verify <repo> ...
  • A repository directory is the focus: the context roots (REPO_SCAN_CONTEXT_ROOTS, default REPO_SCAN_ROOTS) are scanned so its links resolve, and only its view is written.
  • Provider: --provider claude --model haiku|sonnet|opus (default claude, model haiku) or --provider litellm (needs AGENTIC_LLM_BASE_URL, AGENTIC_LLM_API_KEY and a model).
  • Output: --out DIR (default ~/.cache/agentic/repo-scan/<repo name> or .../all).
  • Settings live in ~/.config/agentic/repo-scan.env (REPO_SCAN_ROOTS, REPO_SCAN_ROOT_URLS, REPO_SCAN_CONTEXT_ROOTS, REPO_SCAN_PROVIDER, REPO_SCAN_MODEL, AGENTIC_LLM_BASE_URL, AGENTIC_LLM_MODEL).

Workflow

Step 1 - requirements

bash <skill base>/scripts/repo-scan.sh check

Exit 1 means python3 >= 3.11 or git is missing: show the printed install command and stop. If scc is missing, offer bash <skill base>/scripts/repo-scan.sh tools (exact line counts); without it a built-in counter runs.

What ships with it

1 file 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.

repo-scan is a skill published in the GitHub repository sawrus/agent-guides (19 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 1,080 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-10-27.
