What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

## Explore Codebase

Use the code-review-graph MCP tools to find your way around the codebase.

### Steps

1. Call `get_architecture_overview_tool` for the community structure. Call `list_communities_tool`, then `get_community_tool`, only for the modules you need.
2. Call `semantic_search_nodes_tool` to find a function or class by name or keyword.
3. Call `query_graph_tool` with `callers_of`, `callees_of` or `imports_of` to trace relationships. `children_of` on a file lists its functions and classes.
4. Call `list_flows_tool`, then `get_flow_tool` for one flow, to follow an execution path.
5. Call `find_large_functions_tool` to find oversized functions.
6. Call `list_graph_stats_tool` only when you need node, edge and language counts.

## Token Efficiency Rules
- Call `get_minimal_context_tool(task="<your task>")` before any other graph tool.
- Pass `detail_level="minimal"` wherever a tool accepts it. Use "standard" only when minimal is not enough.
- Prefer a targeted `query_graph_tool` call over a broad listing call.
- Budget: about five tool calls and 800 tokens of graph output per task.
- Read the implementation and its tests before changing code. The graph narrows scope; it does not replace the source.

Questions

What does the Explore Codebase skill do?

Local-first code intelligence graph for MCP and CLI. Builds a persistent map of your codebase so AI coding tools read only what matters, with benchmarked context reductions on reviews and large-repo workflows.

Is Explore Codebase safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Explore Codebase access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (a9c894db76a7), read on 2026-10-06. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
