Map project architecture: discover modules, build call graphs, visualize structure, trace critical paths. Complete architecture overview with dependency flows.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Analyze code structure: parse functions, classes, imports, and complexity metrics. Use to understand a file or project without reading the source code directly.
Extract a specific function, class, or method from a file using Code Scalpel. Use when you need to show a symbol without reading the entire fileโsaves 95% of context.
Verify code compliance with policies and standards: HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS, custom style guides. Validate policy file integrity with cryptographic verification.
Safe refactoring workflow: find all usages, trace dependencies, simulate changes, generate baseline tests, then apply with backup. Behavior-preserving refactor.
Full security audit: detect local vulnerabilities, cross-file taint flows, CVEs in dependencies, and polyglot sink patterns. Complete security scan pipeline.
Install and verify the Code Scalpel MCP server. Checks if codescalpel is already installed in Claude Code, runs `claude mcp add` if needed, and confirms connection by fetching capabilities.

Project Structure:
โโโ src/
โ โโโ api/ (HTTP handlers, 12 functions)
โ โ โโโ users.py
โ โ โโโ products.py
โ โโโ services/ (business logic, 34 functions)
โ โ โโโ auth.py
โ โ โโโ payment.py
โ โ โโโ notifications.py
โ โโโ models/ (data models, 8 classes)
โ โโโ utils/ (helpers, 15 functions)
โ โโโ main.py (entry point)
Call Graph (from main):
main()
โโโ setup_api()
โ โโโ register_routes()
โ โโโ api.users.list_users()
โ โโโ api.products.get_product()
โโโ run_server()
Complexity Hotspots:
1. services/payment.py โ process_payment() [CC: 8]
2. api/users.py โ validate_request() [CC: 7]
3. models/user.py โ User.save() [CC: 6]
