What it does

Codebase Context is an agent skill from homarr-labs/homarr. Navigate Homarr's monorepo architecture and reuse shared packages. Use when locating code, choosing a package boundary, understanding runtime services, tRPC, databases, widgets, integrations, cron jobs, Custom Widgets, Workshop, or checking @homarr/common before creating a utility.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/architecture.md` and `references/common.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Codebase knowledge for agents, gRPC and Protobuf and Monorepo tooling. It works with tRPC and Next.js. The repository describes itself as: A modern and easy to use dashboard. 80+ integrations. 20K+ icons built in. Authentication out of the box. No YAML, drag and drop configuration. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Choosing a package boundary
Understanding runtime services
Checking @homarr/common before creating a utility

Example prompts

“/codebase-context”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Confirm the branch and inspect the nearest package.json, existing sibling modules, and package exports.
Search @homarr/common before creating a general-purpose helper. Read references/common.md for every public entrypoint and export.
Read references/architecture.md when the task crosses packages, runtimes, routing, data, widgets, integrations, cron jobs, Custom Widgets…
Keep the change in the deepest package that owns the behavior. Reuse public entrypoints rather than deep-importing implementation files.
Re-run targeted searches before documenting counts, consumers, or dependency edges; these change faster than the architectural seams.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3f02da7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- pnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Codebase Context loads about 659 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~659
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~4.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Homarr Codebase Context

Orient from the current checkout before editing. Treat package manifests, exports, and source as authoritative when they differ from this snapshot.

Workflow

Confirm the branch and inspect the nearest package.json, existing sibling modules, and package exports.
Search @homarr/common before creating a general-purpose helper. Read references/common.md for every public entrypoint and export.
Read references/architecture.md when the task crosses packages, runtimes, routing, data, widgets, integrations, cron jobs, Custom Widgets, or Workshop.
Keep the change in the deepest package that owns the behavior. Reuse public entrypoints rather than deep-importing implementation files.
Re-run targeted searches before documenting counts, consumers, or dependency edges; these change faster than the architectural seams.

Current toolchain

Use Node 24.18.0 from mise.toml and pnpm 11.15.1 from package.json.
Use pnpm workspaces with Turborepo. Workspace packages use the @homarr/ scope and catalog-managed dependencies.
Use Next.js App Router, TypeScript, tRPC, Drizzle, Mantine v9, Tabler icons, Jotai, TanStack Query, next-intl, Vitest, and Playwright.
Use oxlint and oxfmt. Mantine is the application UI system; Tailwind is limited to the docs app.
pnpm dev starts only @homarr/nextjs. Start a standalone runtime explicitly when the task needs it.
