codebase-design

codebase-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wangmiaozero/pi-harness. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,349 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A vocabulary and method for designing modules with clear interfaces and well-contained responsibilities. A module is a part of a codebase that provides a specific piece of functionality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing modules, improving existing ones, deciding where code should connect, or making a codebase easier for people and coding agents to navigate.
Why use it?
It helps identify unclear boundaries and interfaces that make code harder to test, understand, or change.

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

codebase-design 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 4d 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.

What ships with it

3 files 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.
