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
