managed-codebase-context

managed-codebase-context is a skill for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 31 tokens per session (610 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for connecting an agent to a managed service that keeps a map of a codebase, including its architecture and symbols. Symbols are named code elements such as functions, classes, and variables.

In plain words
What is it for?
Using a persistent codebase map, checking its freshness, reviewing architectural context, and navigating symbols across many files.
Why use it?
It can provide broad repository context and cross-file navigation without rebuilding that understanding on every task. It also checks whether the stored map is current before using it.

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

managed-codebase-context 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.

Managed Codebase Context

When to use

Use when a persistent codebase-context MCP server is available and the task requires broad architectural context, symbol inventory, or cross-file navigation that would be expensive to reconstruct from scratch on each turn.

Requirements / Checks

  • Check MCP transport type: stdio (local, one-off) vs HTTP (requires a running server).
  • Do not run npx -y or start server processes without user approval.
  • Verify server cwd, env variables, timeout, and workspace path scope.
  • Confirm cleanup behavior for spawned stdio processes before starting long-running tasks.

Workflow

  1. Select transport:

    • stdio: suitable for local, ephemeral sessions started per task.
    • HTTP: use only when a local server is already confirmed to be running.
  2. Connect with timeout — set a connection timeout; do not let the agent hang indefinitely if the server never initializes.

  3. Retrieve context — fetch the current codebase map, symbol index, or architectural summary as available.

  4. Validate freshness — a map is stale if any of the following are true:

    • Map timestamp predates the last git commit that touched relevant files.
    • Map references files that no longer exist.
    • Map is missing files present in the current workspace.
    • The user reports recent significant refactoring.
  5. Refresh when stale — trigger a context refresh only when the map is demonstrably stale. Do not refresh on every request — refreshes are expensive.

  6. Use context, then close — read what you need, then close the session. Ensure the client and transport close cleanly. If the server was spawned as a stdio process, kill the process tree if it does not exit within a few seconds.

Staleness Signals

Signal Check
Map timestamp Compare to git log --format="%ci" -1 for recently changed files
Missing files Cross-reference map file list with git ls-files
Stale symbols Check if key function/class names in the map exist in current source
User-reported Accept the user's word; trigger refresh without verification

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.
