SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Scan the repository to identify existing patterns, conventions, and related code paths before you implement changes, helping prevent duplication and misaligned architecture.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface project conventions, naming patterns, and architectural decisions to align edits with existing code.
  • Locate related code paths, utilities, and tests to promote reuse and reduce duplication.
  • Produce a concise, actionable summary ideal for planning reviews and cross-team collaboration.

Quick Start

Ask cc-flow to perform a repository scan and return a structured summary of patterns, conventions, and related code paths.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify existing codebase patterns and conventions before making changes?

To identify existing codebase patterns and conventions before making changes, scan the repository to surface architectural decisions, naming patterns, and related code paths. This process reads repository structure and analyzes function signatures to produce a structured report of conventions, tests, and potential reuse opportunities.

What's the best way to find reusable code paths and utilities in a large repository?

Finding reusable code paths in a large repository involves scanning the codebase to locate related utilities, tests, and existing conventions. Analyzing function signatures and listing non-duplicated patterns produces an actionable summary that promotes reuse and reduces duplication across feature development or refactoring.

Can I audit a codebase for duplicated patterns and architectural misalignment?

Yes, you can audit a codebase for duplicated patterns and architectural misalignment by scanning repository structure and analyzing code signatures. The resulting structured report highlights existing conventions, related code, and reuse opportunities, helping prevent misaligned architecture during audits or cross-team collaboration.

Does scanning a repository for conventions require specific dependencies or environments?

Scanning a repository for conventions requires no specific external dependencies or environment setup. The process directly reads the repository structure and analyzes existing code signatures to output a concise, actionable summary of conventions, related code paths, and potential reuse opportunities.

How do I generate a structured report of project conventions for planning reviews?

To generate a structured report of project conventions for planning reviews, perform a repository scan that analyzes code paths and function signatures. This outputs a concise summary detailing naming patterns, architectural decisions, related tests, and reuse opportunities ideal for cross-team collaboration.

When should I scan for existing patterns to prevent code duplication during refactoring?

You should scan for existing patterns to prevent code duplication during refactoring before implementing any changes. Identifying conventions and related code paths beforehand ensures edits align with the existing architecture, surface reusable utilities, and avoid introducing duplicated logic into the codebase.
