cdb-scan — Map This Project Into Memory

Scans your codebase into a claude-db code graph and writes a five-note project profile covering stack, layout, conventions, workflows and architecture.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 229⑂ 24AI score 7/10Last updated: Aug 30, 2026

What it does

  • Runs claude-db scan from the project root to build a deterministic code graph of every symbol plus call/import/extends edges, and reports the symbol and edge counts.
  • Enables structural queries through find_usages in usages, explain and path modes instead of reading files.
  • Reads the real manifests and source, then makes exactly one remember call per fixed key: profile:stack, profile:layout, profile:conventions, profile:workflows, profile:architecture.
  • Because the keys are stable, re-running edits the existing notes in place rather than duplicating them.
  • Ships guardrails: tag everything inferred, only record what was verified, never restate CLAUDE.md, never store secrets or personal data.

Who it's for

  • Developers who just installed claude-db memory on an existing project
  • Teams that want onboarding docs derived from the code, not from stale READMEs
  • Anyone tired of re-explaining project structure to an AI agent every session

Example uses

  1. Right after adding claude-db to a legacy monorepo, run the skill to produce the code graph and all five profile notes in one pass.
  2. After a large refactor, re-run it so the stored profile:layout and profile:architecture notes are refreshed instead of stale.
  3. Ask "what calls this handler?" or "how does the CLI reach the storage adapter?" and answer it via find_usages path mode without opening files.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/cdb-scan folder from the GitHub repo Avijit07x/claude-db into my ~/.claude/skills/cdb-scan/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/Avijit07x/claude-db.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-db/skills/cdb-scan ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Install the claude-db CLI and its MCP server first (it provides the remember, search and find_usages tools) and confirm they work.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Avijit07x/claude-db.git
  3. Copy the skill into place: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-db/skills/cdb-scan ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Restart Claude Code and open a session at the root of the project you want mapped.
  5. Ask: "map this project into memory" or "run cdb-scan".
  6. Verify the printed symbol/edge counts, then run a search for profile to confirm the five notes were stored.
