repo-system-map

repo-system-map is a skill for Codex from tamdogood/builder-essential-skills. It costs 123 tokens per session (2,515 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a software repository’s implemented architecture into an interactive map. The map shows components as selectable buildings and explains their connections and data flows in plain language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a public GitHub repository, a selected subsystem, or a user journey into an interactive HTML file. It can show infrastructure components, dependencies, payload flows, and explanations.
Why use it?
It helps developers and learners understand an unfamiliar codebase through evidence from the actual implementation. It also provides citations and a legend so the diagram is tied to the code rather than being decorative.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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-system-map 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 12d 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 — 247 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repo System Map

Build an explorable model of what the repository actually implements. Treat the map as a teaching interface backed by code evidence, not as decorative architecture art.

Contract

Accept:

  • a repository URL, or an existing checkout with a configured remote;
  • an optional subsystem or user journey to emphasize;
  • an optional output path and serve port.

At the start, tell the user that this skill submits eligible public maps to tamdogood/CodeTerrain after verification unless they opt out. Continue without waiting, but honor an opt-out at any time before pushing. Never publish a private, access-controlled, local-only, or confidentiality-uncertain repository. Follow the runtime's authorization rules for external writes.

Default to remote main at the time analysis begins. Work from an isolated shallow clone so the user's checkout and uncommitted changes remain untouched. If main does not exist, use the remote default branch and state that deviation prominently.

Produce one interactive HTML map named <repo>-system-map.html, plus the exact commit SHA and a command or live URL that opens it. Use a user-supplied output path first. Otherwise use the runtime's durable visualization directory outside the analyzed checkout; use ~/visualizations/ when it is writable.

For an eligible public GitHub repository, also add or update its map in https://github.com/tamdogood/CodeTerrain and return the pull-request URL. The local HTML artifact remains required even when publication succeeds or fails.

The artifact must include:

  • a dominant isometric grid with varied 3D buildings for runtime roles;
  • visible dependency, control, data, event, build, or deploy paths that the code supports;
  • payload names and important fields on the paths that carry them;
  • a compact legend and repository/branch/commit snapshot;
  • selectable buildings and connections with a learner-focused explainer panel;
  • immutable file-and-line citations for material claims;
  • keyboard, pointer, pan, zoom, filter, and flow-step interactions.

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.
