extract-patterns

You can automatically document code patterns by running the extract-patterns tool, which analyzes your codebase using AST and regex to generate a markdown reference file of common patterns like state management and API calls.

Generating a markdown reference for codebase consistency is best handled by AST analysis, which parses your project to identify recurring code patterns and outputs a detailed patterns.md file for developer onboarding.

AST analysis identifies state management and API call patterns by parsing the abstract syntax tree of your source code alongside regex checks, extracting structural code conventions to document them for development consistency.

Yes, you can output extracted code patterns to JSON format. The tool supports JSON output and allows you to merge newly detected patterns with existing pattern files to maintain a continuous reference.

No, the extract-patterns tool requires no external dependencies to analyze code. It operates independently using internal scripts and references to perform AST and regex analysis on your project files.

You should use AST for parsing structural code conventions and regex for matching specific text patterns, as this tool combines both methods to accurately detect and document diverse code patterns within your project.
