Codebase Exploration
Skill Verified ActiveExplore and understand codebases using SocratiCode semantic search, dependency graphs, and context artifacts. Use when exploring code, understanding architecture, finding functions/types, analysing dependencies, searching database schemas or API specs, or when socraticode/codebase_search tools are available. Activates when the user asks about code structure, wants to find where a feature lives, or needs to understand how code is organised.
To enable AI agents to deeply understand and navigate any codebase efficiently, reducing manual effort and improving code comprehension.
Features
- Hybrid semantic + keyword code search
- Polyglot code dependency graph with visualization
- Symbol-level impact analysis and call flow tracing
- Searchable context artifacts (schemas, API specs, infra configs)
- Local, private, and zero-configuration Docker deployment
Use Cases
- Exploring unfamiliar codebases
- Understanding software architecture and dependencies
- Finding specific functions, types, or files
- Analysing impact before refactoring or deletion
- Searching database schemas, API specs, or infrastructure configurations
Non-Goals
- Replacing static analysis tools for linting or type checking
- Executing arbitrary code within the user's environment
- Providing code generation capabilities beyond search and analysis

Clawsec Scanner
100Automated vulnerability scanner for agent platforms. Performs dependency scanning (npm audit, pip-audit), multi-database CVE lookup (OSV, NVD, GitHub Advisory), SAST analysis (Semgrep, Bandit), and agent-specific DAST hook execution testing for OpenClaw hooks.
Containerize MCP Server
100Containerize an R-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server using Docker. Covers mcptools integration, port exposure, stdio vs HTTP transport, and connecting Claude Code to the containerized server. Use when deploying an R MCP server without requiring a local R installation, creating a reproducible MCP server environment, running MCP servers alongside other containerized services, or distributing an MCP server to other developers.
Azure Container Registry SDK for Python
100Azure Container Registry SDK for Python. Use for managing container images, artifacts, and repositories. Triggers: "azure-containerregistry", "ContainerRegistryClient", "container images", "docker registry", "ACR".
Codebase Management
99Set up, index, and manage SocratiCode codebase indexing. Use when the user wants to index a project, check infrastructure health, start/stop file watching, configure context artifacts, troubleshoot indexing issues, manage the code graph, or any SocratiCode administrative task. Activates when the user mentions indexing, setting up search, SocratiCode infrastructure, or managing the codebase index.
Setup Container Registry
99Configure container image registries including GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io), Docker Hub, and Harbor with automated image scanning, tagging strategies, retention policies, and CI/CD integration for secure image distribution. Use when setting up a private container registry, migrating from Docker Hub to self-hosted registries, implementing vulnerability scanning in CI/CD pipelines, managing multi-architecture images, enforcing image signing, or configuring automatic cleanup and retention policies.
Optimize Docker Build Cache
99Optimize Docker build times using layer caching, multi-stage builds, BuildKit features, and dependency-first copy patterns. Applicable to R, Node.js, and Python projects. Use when Docker builds are slow due to repeated package installations, when rebuilds reinstall all dependencies on every code change, when image sizes are unnecessarily large, or when CI/CD pipeline builds are a bottleneck.
