At a glance
A skill your agent uses when you need to find related files, understand code dependencies, or analyze impact scope.
- You need to find related files
- SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Core Command, Usage Patterns and Parameters, plus 2 more sections
- Calls jq
- Understand code dependencies
What it does
Gossiphs is an agent skill from williamfzc/gossiphs. Use when you need to find related files, understand code dependencies, or analyze impact scope. Triggers when the user asks about: - "Which files use this function/class?" - "What files will be affected if I change this?" - "Find code related to X" - "What does this file depend on?" - "Where is this symbol defined/referenced?" Uses gossiphs binary directly (no MCP required).
Its SKILL.md is about 700 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. It works with Model Context Protocol and Python. The repository describes itself as: "Zero setup" & "Blazingly fast" general code file relationship analysis. With Python & Rust. Based on tree-sitter and git analysis. Support skill and ready for AI🤖. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- You need to find related files
- Understand code dependencies
- Analyze impact scope
Example prompts
- “Which files use this function/class?”
- “What files will be affected if I change this?”
- “Find code related to X”
- “/gossiphs”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit efe82f1. 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:
jq
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
Gossiphs loads about 702 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 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.

- description
- Use when you need to find related files, understand code dependencies, or analyze impact scope. Triggers when the user asks about: - "Which files use this function/class?" - "What files will be affected if I change this?" - "Find code related to X" - "What does this file depend on?" - "Where is this symbol defined/referenced?" Uses gossiphs binary directly (no MCP required).
Code Relations
Quickly discover file relationships in a codebase using semantic analysis.
Prerequisites
Ensure gossiphs binary is available:
which gossiphs || echo "Install: cargo install gossiphs"Core Command
gossiphs relate --file <PATH> [--json]Output is JSON array with:
name: source filerelated[]: related files withname,score,refs,defs,related_symbols
Usage Patterns
Find related files
gossiphs relate --file src/auth/login.rs | jq '.[0].related[].name'Get top N related files by score
gossiphs relate --file src/lib.rs | jq '.[0].related | sort_by(-.score) | .[0:5][] | {name, score}'Find shared symbols between files
gossiphs relate --file src/lib.rs | jq '.[0].related[] | select(.name | contains("auth")) | .related_symbols[].symbol.name' | sort -uImpact analysis for a file change
gossiphs relate --file <FILE> | jq '.[0].related[] | "\(.name) (score: \(.score), refs: \(.refs))"'Parameters
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-p, --project-path | Project root (default: .) |
--file | Target file to analyze |
--depth | Git history depth (default: 100) |
--strict | Precise-first analysis |
--exclude-file-regex | Exclude files matching pattern |
Example Scenarios
Scenario 1: Impact Analysis
User: "I want to refactor User class. What should I check?"
1. gossiphs relate --file src/models/user.py
2. Parse JSON output for related files
3. Report: "These files reference User symbols and may need updates..."Scenario 2: Find implementation
User: "Where is the authentication logic?"
1. Start from known entry: gossiphs relate --file src/routes/auth.rs
2. Follow related files to trace the flow
3. Report: "Auth flow: routes/auth.rs -> middleware/jwt.rs -> services/auth.rs"Scenario 3: Dependency discovery
User: "What does payment module depend on?"
1. gossiphs relate --file src/payment/
2. List incoming/outgoing connections
3. Summarize dependency graphTips
- First run may be slow - builds index from git history
- Subsequent runs are fast - cached in
.gossiphs/ - Semantic over textual - connections based on symbol semantics
- Git history matters - files changed together get stronger connections
