Code Agent Skill

by guaardvark

>- exact-text search, file listing, PageRank repository map, import dependency graph, reading one class or function, analysis and generated rewrites, plus the System Mapper and self-improvement status. Use when the user asks where something is implemented, how modules depend on each other, or wants an architecture map of an indexed repo.

3 sections, as written by the author

Code intelligence with Guaardvark (MCP tools)

| tool | use |

|---|---|

| list_code_repositories | which folders are marked as repositories (gives the folder id) |

| search_codebase | semantic search over the indexed project: "where is thinking enabled per model" |

| search_code | case-insensitive regex across files |

| list_code_files | directory listing to orient |

| read_code | a whole file with line numbers |

| read_ast_node | one class or function by name from a Python file |

| get_repository_map | PageRank-ranked architectural map for a folder id |

| get_dependency_graph | file-level import graph for a folder id |

| analyze_code | structure, patterns, improvement notes for a file |

| codegen | a complete modified version of a file from instructions (writes a new file) |

| verify_change | confirm text now exists in a file after an edit |

| map_codebase | run the System Mapper: stats plus ranked findings |

| self_improvement_status | can the self-improvement engine run (lock, flag, already running) |

| swarm_status | the coding swarm (see the swarm skill) |

Pattern

  • list_code_repositories → folder id.
  • get_repository_map for the shape, search_codebase for the question.
  • Read the exact code (read_code / read_ast_node) before answering; quote file and line.
  • Edits: make them with your own editor tools in the user's checkout; verify_change afterwards.

Rules

  • These tools read Guaardvark's index, which can lag the working tree; when it matters, read the

file from disk too.

  • map_codebase and self_improvement_status are read-only here. Dispatching a fix to the

self-improvement engine is done in the Studio, on purpose.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take guaardvark/code from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
