scan-codebase

Python only — uses ast.parse to extract import graph + symbol metadata across all .py files; non-Python files not indexed. Writes .cache/scan/<project>.json. No external deps. Zero-Python project (no .py files): index writes but empty — downstream queries return no results.

Index captures per module: import graph, blast-radius metrics, symbol list (classes, functions, methods with line ranges). Symbol data enables scan-query symbol / find-symbol to return target function source instead of full file reads.

Agents + develop skills query index via scan-query for module deps, blast radius, coupling, symbol source before editing.

NOT for querying existing index (use /codemap:query-code); NOT for integration health checks or injection (use /codemap:integration).

Step 1: Run the scanner

Parse $ARGUMENTS to build invocation. Pass --root <path> if provided; pass --incremental if provided. Construct args conditionally — never pass literal placeholder strings:

# scan-index handles v2→v3 fallback internally
SCAN_BIN="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/codemap}/bin/scan-index"
SCAN_ARGS_RAW="$(python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/codemap}/bin/parse_scan_args.py" "$ARGUMENTS")"  # timeout: 5000 — parse_scan_args.py validates $ARGUMENTS (allowlist: --root, --incremental); word-splitting safe because output is controlled flag tokens only
# Persist for usage block — fresh shell per Bash() call loses bash variables
echo "$SCAN_BIN" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/codemap-scan-bin"
echo "$SCAN_ARGS_RAW" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/codemap-scan-args"

# Pre-scan warning: if --incremental requested but no prior index, log fallback BEFORE starting scan
if [[ " $ARGUMENTS " == *" --incremental "* ]]; then
    PROJ_NAME=$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || echo "$PWD")")
    if [ ! -f ".cache/scan/${PROJ_NAME}.json" ]; then
        echo "[codemap] No prior index: falling back to full scan"
    fi
fi

Unsupported flag check — after supported flags extracted, scan $ARGUMENTS for -- prefixed tokens other than --root and --incremental. If any remain: print ! Unknown flag(s): \--<token>`. Supported: `--root`, `--incremental`.then invokeAskUserQuestion` — (a) Abort (stop, re-invoke with correct flags) · (b) Continue ignoring (skip unknown flags, proceed). On Abort: stop.

# timeout: 360000
SCAN_BIN=$(cat "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/codemap-scan-bin")
SCAN_ARGS_RAW=$(cat "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/codemap-scan-args")
# Word-splitting safe: parse_scan_args.py output is controlled flag tokens only
# Unquoted expansion intentional to preserve word boundaries between flags
timeout 360 "$SCAN_BIN" $SCAN_ARGS_RAW

Scanner writes to <root>/.cache/scan/<project>.json and prints summary line:

[codemap] ✓ .cache/scan/<project>.json
[codemap]   N modules indexed, M degraded

Step 2: Report

After scan, read index and report compact summary:

# Pass $ARGUMENTS via env var — never interpolate into script path or args.
# SCAN_ARGS provides root-path context for stats script to resolve relative module paths.
# CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set automatically by Claude Code when plugin is active.
# timeout: 15000
SCAN_ARGS="$ARGUMENTS" python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/codemap}/bin/scan-stats.py"

Degraded count reported — scan-stats.py reports module counts only, no per-file list. Not failure — index still useful.

If --incremental passed and scan-stats reports 0 modules indexed (or same count as before), note: --incremental no-op when no existing index — full scan ran instead.

Step 3: Suggest next step

Index ready. Query it with:
  /codemap:query-code central --top 10
  /codemap:query-code deps <module>
  /codemap:query-code rdeps <module>
  /codemap:query-code coupled --top 10
  # see /codemap:query-code for full list of subcommands
