At a glance

Scan Express.js source files to discover all API route definitions.

  • Works in 2 steps: Run Route Scanner → Enrich Route Data
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3

What it does

Route Scanning is an agent skill from huangjia2019/claude-code-engineering. Scan Express.js source files to discover all API route definitions.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/scan-routes.py`).

It works with Express. The repository describes itself as: This repository demonstrates how to use Claude Code to do real engineering work, not just writing code. 本项目是极客时间专栏 《Claude Code 工程化实战》 的官方配套示例仓库,目标就是: 👉 把 Claude Code…

Example prompts

  • “/route-scanning”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Bash(python3 *)

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Run Route Scanner
  2. Enrich Route Data

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 89fea03. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(python3 *)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Route Scanning loads about 245 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 79 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~245

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 79 words (~245 tokens).

How do I install Route Scanning in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add huangjia2019/claude-code-engineering --skill route-scanning -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (04-Skills/projects/08-skill-pipeline/.claude/skills/route-scanning in huangjia2019/claude-code-engineering) into .claude/skills/route-scanning in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Route Scanning in Codex?

Run `npx skills add huangjia2019/claude-code-engineering --skill route-scanning -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (04-Skills/projects/08-skill-pipeline/.claude/skills/route-scanning in huangjia2019/claude-code-engineering) into .agents/skills/route-scanning in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Route Scanning in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add huangjia2019/claude-code-engineering --skill route-scanning -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/route-scanning, .gemini/skills/route-scanning, .github/skills/route-scanning and .opencode/skills/route-scanning in your project.

What does Route Scanning need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Route Scanning needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash(python3 *).

Does Route Scanning access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Route Scanning safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Route Scanning use?

No licence was found for Route Scanning or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Route Scanning use?

About 245 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 980 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Route Scanning?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Route Scanning: Validator Dependency Upgrade (express-validator/express-validator, 6.2k stars), Nodejs Express Server (ever-works/ever-works, 162 stars), Express (blencorp/claude-code-kit, 106 stars) and Express API Design (revfactory/claude-code-harness, 120 stars).
