SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyzing large codebases to extract architecture, call graphs, refactoring hotspots, and duplication typically requires time-consuming manual exploration. This skill automates that process, delivering a deterministic overview without relying on large language models.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Performs a full static analysis of a project using spec-gen to generate architecture summaries, call graphs, and refactoring suggestions.
  • Reports top refactoring issues, code duplication, and detected domains to guide architectural decisions.
  • Produces a concise, shareable report suitable for project kickoffs, architecture reviews, and CI-quality gates.

Quick Start

Tell me which project directory to analyze and I will run a full static analysis with spec-gen.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a call graph and architecture summary for a large codebase?▼

Static analysis automates codebase analysis to extract architecture, call graphs, and refactoring hotspots. You provide a local project directory to generate a deterministic overview of code structure and dependencies without relying on large language models.

Can I use static analysis to find code duplication and refactoring issues in Python and Go?▼

Yes, static analysis detects code duplication and refactoring issues across Python, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, and other supported languages. It reports top refactoring issues and detected domains to guide architectural decisions.

Do I need a local spec-gen server to run codebase analysis?▼

Yes, running codebase analysis requires a local spec-gen MCP server. The tool connects to this server to perform deterministic static analysis and extract call graphs, architecture summaries, and duplication reports.

What is the best way to get a deterministic overview of code structure without using LLMs?▼

Using a language-agnostic static analysis tool is the best way to get a deterministic code structure overview. It extracts architecture and call graphs directly from the source code, ensuring consistent results without LLM variability.

Can I use codebase analysis reports for architecture reviews and CI quality gates?▼

Yes, codebase analysis produces a concise, shareable report suitable for project kickoffs, architecture reviews, and CI-quality gates. The report includes refactoring issues, code duplication, and detected domains.

Does static analysis work for multiple programming languages in the same project?▼

Static analysis is language-agnostic and supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, and other languages. It provides a unified overview of code structure and dependencies across mixed-language projects.
