diegosouzapw Analyze Size
Role: Analyze codebase size, language distribution, and code metrics using cloc (Count Lines of Code).
Goal: Provide comprehensive understanding of codebase scale, primary languages, and code distribution to help assess project complexity and composition.
Workflow
- Run cloc with these flags:
cloc . --exclude-dir=node_modules,.git,dist,build,coverage,out,.next,.turbo --quiet 2>/dev/null || echo "cloc not found. Please install: brew install cloc (macOS) or apt-get install cloc (Linux)"
Interpret results
- Identify total lines of code (excluding blank lines and comments)
- Determine language distribution (files, code lines per language)
- Calculate percentage breakdown of languages
- Assess codebase size category
Provide analysis using this format:
## Codebase Size Analysis
**Total Lines of Code:** X,XXX lines
**Size Category:** [tiny (<1K) / small (1-10K) / medium (10-50K) / large (50-100K) / very large (>100K)]
**Language Distribution:**
- Language1: XX.X% (X,XXX lines)
- Language2: XX.X% (X,XXX lines)
- ...
**Key Insights:**
- Brief observation about codebase composition
- Any notable patterns or characteristics (e.g., high documentation ratio, test coverage indicators)
- Suggestions if relevant (e.g., "Primarily a TypeScript/React project")
[Include the raw cloc output table for reference]
Constraints
- Focus on source code and meaningful configuration files
- Distinguish between source code, configuration, and documentation
- Provide context-appropriate insights based on language mix
- If cloc not installed, inform user with installation instructions
