codebeacon

codebeacon is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wandererer/codebeacon. It costs 99 tokens per session (4,401 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A codebase scanner that analyzes source structure, builds a map of how code is connected, and generates a searchable wiki plus a CLAUDE.md context file for AI agents. It supports many common web, backend, and desktop frameworks and can expose the map through an MCP server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a project, update the map incrementally, search code relationships, find paths between components, generate documentation, synchronize multiple projects, or serve the result to tools through MCP.
Why use it?
It gives developers and agents an overview of an unfamiliar codebase instead of requiring them to discover files, relationships, and project context manually.

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 B, and why

codebeacon scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 327 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/codebeacon

Scan source code with AST analysis → build a knowledge graph → generate a navigable wiki + CLAUDE.md context map ready for AI agents. After scan/sync, run AI-semantic enrichment automatically using whatever model the agent is currently running on (no hardcoded model, no extra API key).

Usage

/codebeacon                              # scan current directory + auto AI-semantic
/codebeacon <path>                       # scan specific path + auto AI-semantic
/codebeacon <path> --update              # incremental scan + auto AI-semantic
/codebeacon <path> --wiki-only           # wiki only (no scan, no semantic)
/codebeacon <path> --no-semantic         # skip AI-semantic
/codebeacon sync                         # multi-project sync + auto AI-semantic
/codebeacon semantic-prepare [--dir D]   # emit a fresh tasks file only (no scan)
/codebeacon semantic-apply   [--dir D]   # merge a results file written by the agent
/codebeacon serve <path>                 # start MCP server pointing at .codebeacon/
/codebeacon query <term>                 # search the graph
/codebeacon path <src> <tgt>             # shortest path
/codebeacon knowledge [<path>]           # scan .md notes (ADRs, meetings, retros, specs) → KNOWLEDGE.md
/codebeacon init [<path>]                # interactive codebeacon.yaml
/codebeacon install                      # install/update this skill
/codebeacon upgrade                      # pip upgrade codebeacon + refresh this SKILL.md (then restart Claude Code)

If no path was given, use . (current directory). Do not ask the user for a path.

Step 0 — Constrained query expansion (for /codebeacon query flows)

When the user's question doesn't literally match graph labels (e.g. they ask in Korean about a Java codebase, or use a synonym), do NOT invent extra search terms from memory. Phantom expansion ("auth" → {passport, sso, saml, oauth, jwt, scim, …}) returns ungrounded results.

Instead, before running codebeacon query:

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.

codebeacon is a skill published in the GitHub repository Wandererer/codebeacon (2 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 4,401 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
