indexion-agent-orient

indexion-agent-orient is a skill for Claude Code from trkbt10/indexion-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,172 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-edit briefing tool for coding agents working in an unfamiliar codebase. It maps likely code owners, affected parts of the application, and locations where edits may be unsafe.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing an evidence-based orientation brief before implementation, especially when ownership or the affected code is unclear. The brief can be added to agent instructions or a task prompt.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of changing the wrong file or overlooking code that depends on the planned change. The brief is based on the repository's structure and documentation.

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

indexion-agent-orient 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.

Agent Orientation Workflow

Use this skill before starting implementation in an unfamiliar or ambiguous part of a codebase.

Why

Coding agents often anchor on the path or noun in the user prompt and start editing before they have learned the repository's ownership structure. indexion agent orient builds an incremental orientation map across the selected codebase, then renders a short, evidence-backed brief that can be pasted into AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, a Claude slash command, a Codex skill, or a subagent prompt.

The rendered --limit is only a display limit. Owner inference must come from the full prebuilt map, including code structure, package READMEs, and wiki pages whose provenance is maintained by wiki pages update, wiki pages ingest, and plan reconcile.

Owner profiles use package documentation and owner-specific wiki pages. Broad wiki pages with multiple source roots are useful background, but they should not be treated as proof that every referenced package owns the task.

Pipeline

  1. Verify the installed CLI has this workflow:

    indexion agent orient --help
    

    If this command is missing, update or rebuild indexion before continuing. Having an older indexion binary in PATH is not enough for this skill.

  2. Generate the brief:

    indexion agent orient --task-file task.md --output=.indexion/cache/agent/orient.md .
    

    The first run writes .indexion/cache/agent/orient-map.json. Later runs refresh changed files and affected owner profiles only. Use --no-update when you intentionally want to query the saved map without refreshing it. This is the mode to use when a zero-knowledge agent needs an immediate owner guess from the latest prebuilt map.

    For short tasks:

    indexion agent orient --task "add a name/content drift audit" .
    

    If the user task is in a language or wording that does not appear in the repository's identifiers and README prose, keep the original task in your notes and pass a short codebase-vocabulary gloss to --task. The gloss should describe the objective, not the suspected owner. For example, say "detect drift between names and implementation contents" instead of naming a package you have not confirmed.
