codebase-context-builder

codebase-context-builder is a skill for Claude Code from wei6bin/skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (989 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase analysis tool that creates project-context files by examining a repository from scratch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to onboard a new repository or create missing project context files. It does not analyse user stories or break work into tasks.
Why use it?
It gives later development work a shared understanding of the languages, frameworks, structure, scripts, and deployment setup in an unfamiliar repository.

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-context-builder 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 10d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codebase Context Builder

Context generation only. Return control when done; do not proceed to story analysis.

Analyse the root you were given: the current checkout, or the worktree project-scaffolder works in. A freshly scaffolded repo is a walking skeleton, and two things change:

  • project-scaffolder hands you the conventions established by each scaffolded layer. Write each into the file for its layer as the project's rule, and list in 00_index.md, under "Overrides of the house skills", every one that differs from restful-api-design or react-best-practices; project conventions win there, and the architect and impl-simplify read this folder before applying either.
  • The only domain is the skeleton's auth (users, sessions, audit log). Mark the business sections of 02_domain_model.md [TODO: first story] rather than inventing a domain.

Analyse

  1. Stack: read manifests (package.json, *.csproj/*.sln, pyproject.toml/requirements.txt, pom.xml/build.gradle, go.mod), Dockerfiles/compose, CI files, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/README.md. Extract languages, frameworks, build/test/run scripts, key dependencies (UI lib, ORM, test framework, state), deployment target.
  2. Structure: map source directories 2-3 levels deep (skip node_modules, build output). Identify feature modules, shared code, API/service/data layers, test layout.
  3. Conventions: sample 2-3 files per layer (endpoints, services, repositories, models/DTOs, UI components) and extract naming, imports, error handling, DTO shape, DI usage.
  4. Domain: read 3-5 core model files; extract entities, key fields, relationships, lifecycle states.

Generate docs/project_context/

Always:

  • 00_index.md - task-to-file lookup with actual file references
  • 01_architectural_overview.md - layers, patterns, tech found
  • 02_domain_model.md - entities and workflows inferred from code
  • 04_build_environment.md - how the dev loop actually runs, because a hot-reload rebuild that contends with an implementer's edit on obj/ or .vite/deps/ looks like a product bug ("API is dead"). Seed, marking [TODO: confirm] where uncertain: hot-reload runner (host/container dotnet watch, vite, none); rebuild-trigger globs; binary-lock paths during rebuild; multi-file edit recipe (pause the watcher, --no-restore, --no-hot); each shared dev service (db, api, redis) with its non-destructive restart, never docker compose down -v.

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.
