SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams quantify the size and composition of .NET codebases by using the open-source cloc tool to generate line counts, language mixes, and repository-wide metrics.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Footprint reporting: produce C# production vs. test code, solution footprint, and diff statistics across refs.
  • Configurable scope: count bounded subtrees, exclude noisy directories, and filter languages relevant to .NET.
  • Repeatable outputs: generate machine-readable results (JSON, YAML, MD) for CI, docs, or governance.
  • Use Case: When you need a stable baseline or PR size assessment for a .NET repository.

Quick Start

Run cloc on your repository to generate a structured code-footprint report and capture the results in JSON or YAML.

Frequently Asked Questions about dotnet-cloc

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I count lines of code in a .NET repository for CI metrics?▼

You can count .NET code size by running cloc to produce structured line counts and language mix statistics. It generates machine-readable JSON or YAML outputs suitable for CI pipelines and governance reporting.

What is the best way to compare code footprint between git branches?▼

To compare code footprint across refs, apply cloc diff statistics to analyze branch differences in a .NET repository. This produces repeatable metrics showing production versus test code changes between branches.

Can I exclude noisy directories when measuring .NET solution footprint?▼

Yes, you can configure the repository scope to exclude noisy directories and filter languages relevant to .NET. This ensures accurate solution-level metrics by bounding subtrees and removing generated code noise.

How do I generate a language mix report for C# production and test code?▼

Generate a language mix report by running cloc on your .NET repository to separate C# production versus test code. The tool produces structured outputs in JSON, YAML, or MD formats for documentation and analysis.

Does cloc work with .NET CI workflows for PR size assessment?▼

Yes, cloc integrates into .NET CI workflows to provide PR size assessment and stable baselines. It produces machine-readable code-footprint reports that capture diff statistics and repository-wide metrics for automated pipelines.
