repo-understand

repo-understand is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yugash007/edu-agent-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (614 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-learning workflow that maps a code repository’s lessons, projects, and prerequisites before teaching from it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for deciding where a learner should begin, ordering modules, identifying required knowledge, and outlining learning outcomes from repository structure and documentation.
Why use it?
It prevents starting in the wrong place or retrieving files without understanding how the material fits together.

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

repo-understand 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 12d 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Create a reliable curriculum map before deep teaching. Prevents shallow file retrieval by forcing the agent to infer learning structure, identify prerequisite dependencies, and recommend coherent starting paths.

Activation

  • User asks to learn a repository, course repo, or technical curriculum. User asks "where should I start?" in a multi-module repo. Agent hasn't established module sequence and prerequisites.
  • Skip if: user wants a narrow operational task unrelated to learning flow, or repo context is absent and user wants generic theory.
  • Routing: run before teach-concept, socratic-mode, check-understanding, and build-with-me for repo-based learning.

Inputs

  • Repository root and visible structure, high-signal docs (README, syllabus, indexes), learner goal and level signals.

Workflow

  1. Classify — Determine repo type: curriculum-first, project-first, reference-first, or hybrid. Identify learning artifacts (lessons, labs, projects, checkpoints).
  2. Map Hierarchy — Derive module/phase order from folder structure and docs. Produce a phase map with outcomes per phase.
  3. Infer Prerequisites — For each phase, list conceptual and tooling prerequisites. Mark dependency edges between phases.
  4. Estimate Progression — Foundational → applied → advanced. Identify transition points where learners often stall.
  5. Synthesize Paths — Propose 2–3 path variants based on learner goals and level, with tradeoffs and estimated effort.
  6. Checkpoint — Ask one decision-forcing question to select a path. Do not start deep instruction before the learner selects or confirms.

Rules

  • DO: require a phase map before any deep explanation.
  • DO: explain why sequence matters, not just what modules exist.
  • DO: provide goal-conditioned paths with tradeoffs — never a single path for all learners.
  • DO: surface uncertainty explicitly when repo signals are weak.
  • DON'T: quote random files without structural context.
  • DON'T: recommend advanced topics before prerequisite chain is visible.
  • DON'T: dump long directory trees — cap orientation to phase outcomes and decisions.
  • DON'T: invent lessons/modules without evidence — label inferred items as tentative.

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.
