Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00053 | $0.01971 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00788 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00394 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00197 |
Grade A, and why
codebase-onboarding 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to codebase-onboarding — 26 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Codebase Onboarding
Systematically analyze an unfamiliar codebase and produce a structured onboarding guide. Designed for developers joining a new project or setting up Claude Code in an existing repo for the first time.
When to Use
- First time opening a project with Claude Code
- Joining a new team or repository
- User asks "help me understand this codebase"
- User asks to generate a CLAUDE.md for a project
- User says "onboard me" or "walk me through this repo"
How It Works
Phase 1: Reconnaissance
Gather raw signals about the project without reading every file. Run these checks in parallel:
1. Package manifest detection
→ package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, pom.xml, build.gradle,
Gemfile, composer.json, mix.exs, pubspec.yaml
2. Framework fingerprinting
→ next.config.*, nuxt.config.*, angular.json, vite.config.*,
django settings, flask app factory, fastapi main, rails config
3. Entry point identification
→ main.*, index.*, app.*, server.*, cmd/, src/main/
4. Directory structure snapshot
→ Top 2 levels of the directory tree, ignoring node_modules, vendor,
.git, dist, build, __pycache__, .next
5. Config and tooling detection
→ .eslintrc*, .prettierrc*, tsconfig.json, Makefile, Dockerfile,
docker-compose*, .github/workflows/, .env.example, CI configs
6. Test structure detection
→ tests/, test/, __tests__/, *_test.go, *.spec.ts, *.test.js,
pytest.ini, jest.config.*, vitest.config.*
Phase 2: Architecture Mapping
From the reconnaissance data, identify:
Tech Stack
- Language(s) and version constraints
- Framework(s) and major libraries
- Database(s) and ORMs
- Build tools and bundlers
- CI/CD platform
Architecture Pattern
- Monolith, monorepo, microservices, or serverless
- Frontend/backend split or full-stack
- API style: REST, GraphQL, gRPC, tRPC
Key Directories Map the top-level directories to their purpose:
src/components/ → React UI components
src/api/ → API route handlers
src/lib/ → Shared utilities
src/db/ → Database models and migrations
tests/ → Test suites
scripts/ → Build and deployment scripts
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.

codebase-onboarding is a skill published in the GitHub repository unrealandychan/clean-code-skill (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,971 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to codebase-onboarding, differing in 26 lines, and is treated as a copy.
