File contents

🔍 Scan: Analyzing Project Scope...

Analyze a project's complexity and generate pricing recommendations.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

🔍 Scan: Analyzing project scope...

Then execute the protocol below.

Context Guard

Context	Status
User asks to scan or analyze a project	ACTIVE: full scan
User asks about pricing or estimates	ACTIVE: full scan + pricing
User mentions project metrics (LOC, file count)	ACTIVE: quick metrics
Discussing project analysis concepts generally	DORMANT: do not activate
User is building/coding, not analyzing	DORMANT: do not activate

Protocol

Scan the codebase:

find . -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.py" -o -name "*.css" \) | wc -l
find . -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.js" \) -exec cat {} + | wc -l

Count key components: pages/routes, API endpoints, database tables, external integrations, auth complexity
Assess complexity tier:
- Simple (< 20 files, < 3K LOC): $500 to $2,000
- Medium (20-60 files, 3K-15K LOC): $2,000 to $8,000
- Complex (60-150 files, 15K-50K LOC): $8,000 to $25,000
- Enterprise (150+ files, 50K+ LOC): $25,000+
Factor in: Auth (+2FA/SSO), payments (+$1-3K), real-time (+$1-2K), admin panel (+$2-5K), mobile responsive (+20-30%), per API integration (+$500-1.5K)
Generate three-tier pricing: Budget, Standard, Premium

Inputs

Project directory path
New build vs maintenance estimate

Outputs

Project analysis: file counts, LOC, endpoints, tables
Complexity tier assessment
Three-tier pricing recommendation

Example Usage
