Code stats

Skill aiskillstore/marketplace/skills/0xdarkmatter/code-stats

Analyze codebase with tokei (fast line counts by language) and difft (semantic AST-aware diffs). Get quick project overview without manual counting. Triggers on: how big is codebase, count lines of code, what languages, show semantic diff, compare files, code statistics.From its SKILL.md

Install

npx -y skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill code-stats

Assembled from the repository path, not quoted from the project. Check it against their README if it does not work.

One thing to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

What its file declares

Copied from the file, not written here

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Code Statistics

Quickly analyze codebase size, composition, and changes.

tokei - Line Counts

# Count all code
tokei

# Compact output sorted by code
tokei --compact --sort code

# Specific languages
tokei --type=TypeScript,JavaScript

# Exclude directories
tokei --exclude node_modules --exclude dist

# JSON output for scripting
tokei --output json | jq '.Total.code'

Sample Output

difft - Semantic Diffs

# Compare files
difft old.ts new.ts

# Inline mode
difft --display=inline old.ts new.ts

# With git
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git diff
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git show HEAD~1

Why Semantic?

Traditional diff	difft
Line-by-line	AST-aware
Shows moved as delete+add	Recognizes moves
Whitespace sensitive	Ignores formatting

Quick Reference

Task	Command
Count all code	`tokei`
Compact output	`tokei --compact`
Sort by code	`tokei --sort code`
TypeScript only	`tokei -t TypeScript`
JSON output	`tokei --output json`
Exclude dir	`tokei --exclude node_modules`
Semantic diff	`difft file1 file2`
Git diff	`GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git diff`

When to Use

Getting quick codebase overview
Comparing code changes semantically
Understanding project composition
Reviewing refactoring impact
Tracking codebase growth
