What it does
Memtrace Codebase Exploration is an agent skill from syncable-dev/memtrace-public. Map an indexed source-code repo into a structured overview — scale, communities, central symbols, execution flows, API surface, recent activity. Use when the user wants to explore, understand, onboard to, map, or get an overview of an indexed source-code repo, architecture, modules, or major flows. Do not use Glob, find, tree, rg, or manual file browsing as the first exploration path; Memtrace provides structured graph briefing. Do NOT use for change history / what-changed questions — use memtrace-evolution.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Structural memory for AI coding agents. Bi-temporal graph, MCP-native, zero LLM calls. Cursor · Claude Code · Codex · DeepSeek Harness · Hermes · VS Code · Windsurf.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to explore
- Get an overview of an indexed source-code repo
- Change history / what-changed questions — use memtrace-evolution
Example prompts
- “/memtrace-codebase-exploration”
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Index the codebase
- Get the lay of the land
- Map the architecture (communities)
- Find the most important symbols
- Find architectural bottlenecks
- Map execution flows
- Map the API surface (if applicable)
- Recent activity
- Complexity hotspots
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a3084d. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
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
Memtrace Codebase Exploration loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 583 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 583 words (~1,323 tokens).
“Full codebase exploration workflow — from indexing through architectural understanding. Chains indexing, graph algorithms, community detection, and temporal analysis into a structured onboarding experience. Use this when someone is new to a codebase and needs to build a mental model.”
