Code Stats

Code Stats Skill

Analyzes code files and generates statistics about a codebase.

Usage

When invoked, this skill will:

1. Scan the specified directory (defaults to current directory)
   • Exclude node_modules/, .git/, dist/, and build/ unless the user explicitly asks to count them. These are dependencies, repository metadata, or generated output rather than project source.
2. Count total lines, files by extension
3. Report the largest files
4. Output results in a structured format
5. Sort extension summaries by total line count in descending order

Output Format

Always use this exact format for the output:

# Code Statistics

## Summary
- Total Files: <count>
- Total Lines: <count>
- Total Size: <size_bytes> bytes

## Files by Extension
| Extension | Files | Lines |
|-----------|-------|-------|
| .go | 12 | 1500 |
| .md | 5 | 200 |

## Top 5 File Extensions by Line Count
1. .go — 1500 lines
2. .md — 200 lines

## Largest Files (top 5)
1. main.go (500 lines)
2. util.go (300 lines)

If a file has no extension, group it under (no ext) in both extension sections.

Process

1. Use Bash with find to locate project files, pruning the excluded directories
2. Use Bash with wc -l to count lines per file
3. Group files with no extension under (no ext)
4. Sort both extension summaries by total line count in descending order
5. Aggregate the results into the output format above
6. If no directory is specified, analyze the current working directory

Examples

• "Analyze the current directory"
• "Run code-stats on ./src"
• "Show me file type distribution"
• "How many lines of Python do we have?"
