xmake-introspection

xmake-introspection is a skill for Claude Code from xmake-io/xmake-skills. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A way to ask Xmake, a build tool, what a project actually resolves to after its scripts, options, packages and toolchains are processed. It can show this information for people or export it as JSON for programs and coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list targets, inspect source files, dependencies, packages, flags, toolchains and rules, or export project and dependency graphs.
Why use it?
Reading xmake.lua alone can miss values added by scripts and configuration. This removes guesswork when checking what will really be built.

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

xmake-introspection 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 11d 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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Introspection

xmake.lua is a script, not a manifest: values can come from options, packages, rules, on_config hooks and the toolchain. Reading the file tells you what the author wrote, not what the build resolves to. Ask xmake instead.

Show project information

xmake show                      # project name, version, toolchains, targets ...
xmake show -t hello             # everything resolved for one target
xmake show -l targets           # list target names
xmake show -l toolchains        # what toolchains this xmake knows
xmake show -l rules             # builtin + project rules
xmake show -l policies          # policy names and their defaults
xmake show -l packages          # required packages of this project
xmake show -l envs              # the environment variables xmake reads

Machine-readable output

Any show output can be emitted as JSON, which is what you want when a script or an agent consumes it:

xmake show --format=json                 # whole project as json
xmake show -t hello --format=json        # one target as json
xmake show -l targets --format=json
xmake show --format=json --pretty        # indented, easier to read in a terminal

::: tip --json still works but is deprecated, use --format=json. :::

Query one field without a json parser:

xmake show -t hello --format=json | grep -o '"sourcefiles":[^]]*]'

Dependency graphs

The target dependency graph, as text, JSON, or graphviz DOT:

xmake show --info=depgraph                     # human readable tree
xmake show --info=depgraph --target=app        # only the subtree of one target
xmake show --info=depgraph --format=json       # for tooling
xmake show --info=depgraph --format=dot        # graphviz
xmake show --info=depgraph --format=dot | dot -Tsvg -o deps.svg

The package dependency graph comes from xrepo:

xrepo info --depgraph zlib

Ask Lua directly

Anything the show plugin does not print is still reachable from a script, and this is the most precise way to answer "what does the build actually see":

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.
