repo-scan

Bootstrap pointer that installs the external repo-scan skill from a pinned, reviewable commit. Use when repo-scan must be installed before running its cross-stack source-code asset audit; this ECC pointer does not perform the audit itself.

repo-scan

Every ecosystem has its own dependency manager, but no tool looks across C++, Android, iOS, and Web to tell you: how much code is actually yours, what's third-party, and what's dead weight.

When to Use

  • Taking over a large legacy codebase and need a structural overview
  • Before major refactoring — identify what's core, what's duplicate, what's dead
  • Auditing third-party dependencies embedded directly in source (not declared in package managers)
  • Preparing architecture decision records for monorepo reorganization

Installation

# Clone first so the pinned commit can be reviewed before installation
set -euo pipefail

Review the source before installing any agent skill.

Installation completes only the bootstrap. Reload your agent harness, then invoke repo-scan again. This ECC pointer installs the external skill but does not run a scan itself.

Core Capabilities

CapabilityDescription
Cross-stack scanningC/C++, Java/Android, iOS (OC/Swift), Web (TS/JS/Vue) in one pass
File classificationEvery file tagged as project code, third-party, or build artifact
Library detection50+ known libraries (FFmpeg, Boost, OpenSSL…) with version extraction
Four-level verdictsCore Asset / Extract & Merge / Rebuild / Deprecate
HTML reportsInteractive dark-theme pages with drill-down navigation
Monorepo supportHierarchical scanning with summary + sub-project reports

Analysis Depth Levels

LevelFiles ReadUse Case
fast1-2 per moduleQuick inventory of huge directories
standard2-5 per moduleDefault audit with full dependency + architecture checks
deep5-10 per moduleAdds thread safety, memory management, API consistency
fullAll filesPre-merge comprehensive review

How It Works

  1. Classify the repo surface: enumerate files, then tag each as project code, embedded third-party code, or build artifact.
  2. Detect embedded libraries: inspect directory names, headers, license files, and version markers to identify bundled dependencies and likely versions.
  3. Score each module: group files by module or subsystem, then assign one of the four verdicts based on ownership, duplication, and maintenance cost.
  4. Highlight structural risks: call out dead-weight artifacts, duplicated wrappers, outdated vendored code, and modules that should be extracted, rebuilt, or deprecated.
  5. Produce the report: return a concise summary plus the interactive HTML output with per-module drill-down so the audit can be reviewed asynchronously.

Examples

On a 50,000-file C++ monorepo:

  • Found FFmpeg 2.x (2015 vintage) still in production
  • Discovered the same SDK wrapper duplicated 3 times
  • Identified 636 MB of committed Debug/ipch/obj build artifacts
  • Classified: 3 MB project code vs 596 MB third-party

Best Practices

  • Start with standard depth for first-time audits
  • Use fast for monorepos with 100+ modules to get a quick inventory
  • Run deep incrementally on modules flagged for refactoring
  • Review the cross-module analysis for duplicate detection across sub-projects
