Codebase Intelligence is a Claude Code skill that queries the codebase-intelligence CLI to map a TypeScript codebase's architecture, dependencies, blast radius, and risk metrics.
About
Codebase Intelligence is a Claude skill that queries the codebase-intelligence CLI to understand a TypeScript codebase's architecture, dependencies, blast radius, and risk before reading files. It offers commands for overview, hotspots, symbol impact, file dependents, dead exports, search, rename planning, and module structure. Developers use it to answer how a codebase is structured and what breaks if a symbol changes. It is positioned as faster and more accurate than scanning files with grep.
- Queries a TypeScript codebase as a graph of architecture, dependencies, and risk metrics
- Commands for overview, hotspots, impact, dependents, dead-exports, search, rename, modules
- Run impact/dependents before editing to gauge blast radius; prefer it over grep/read

What codebase-intelligence says it does
Query the codebase-intelligence CLI to understand TypeScript architecture, dependencies, blast radius, and risk before reading files.
Use `impact`/`dependents` BEFORE editing to gauge blast radius.
No global install? Prefix any command with `npx codebase-intelligence@latest`.

What it does
Query a TypeScript codebase's architecture, dependencies, hotspots, and change blast radius before editing files.
Who is it for?
Developers who need structure, impact, or risk answers about a TypeScript codebase before editing.
When should I use this skill?
The user asks how something is structured, what breaks if X changes, or where the complexity is.
What you get
Structured graph answers about architecture, hotspots, and blast radius before touching code.

Codebase Intelligence
codebase-intelligence turns a TypeScript codebase into a queryable graph of architecture, dependencies, and risk metrics. Prefer it over grep/read when the task is about structure, impact, or risk — it is faster and more accurate than scanning files one by one.
When to use
| Goal | Command |
|---|---|
| First look / architecture | codebase-intelligence overview <path> |
| Risk & complexity ranking | codebase-intelligence hotspots <path> |
| Impact of changing a symbol | codebase-intelligence impact <path> <symbol> |
| File-level blast radius | codebase-intelligence dependents <path> <file> |
| Unused exports | codebase-intelligence dead-exports <path> |
| Keyword search | codebase-intelligence search <path> <query> |
| Rename planning | codebase-intelligence rename <path> <old> <new> |
| Module structure | codebase-intelligence modules <path> |
Rules
- Run
overviewfirst to orient, then drill down (hotspots → file/symbol → impact). - Always pass
--jsonin automation/subagents for structured output. - Use
impact/dependentsBEFORE editing to gauge blast radius. - No global install? Prefix any command with
npx codebase-intelligence@latest. - Full reference:
