📖 Understanding Each File

analysis.toon - Health Diagnostics

Purpose: Quick overview of code health issues Key sections:

  • HEALTH: Critical issues (🔴) and warnings (🟡)
  • REFACTOR: Prioritized refactoring actions
  • COUPLING: Module dependencies and potential cycles
  • LAYERS: Package complexity metrics
  • FUNCTIONS: High-complexity functions (CC ≥ 10)
  • CLASSES: Complex classes needing attention

Example usage:

# View health issues
cat analysis.toon | head -30

# Check refactoring priorities
grep "REFACTOR" analysis.toon

evolution.toon.yaml - Refactoring Queue

Purpose: Step-by-step refactoring plan Key sections:

  • NEXT: Immediate actions to take
  • RISKS: Potential breaking changes
  • METRICS-TARGET: Success criteria

Example usage:

# Get refactoring plan
cat evolution.toon.yaml

# Track progress
grep "NEXT" evolution.toon.yaml

flow.toon - Legacy Data Flow Analysis

Purpose: Understand data movement through the system (legacy / explicit opt-in) Key sections:

  • PIPELINES: Data processing chains
  • CONTRACTS: Function input/output contracts
  • SIDE_EFFECTS: Functions with external impacts

Example usage:

# Find data pipelines
grep "PIPELINES" flow.toon

# Identify side effects
grep "SIDE_EFFECTS" flow.toon

map.toon.yaml - Structural Map + Project Header

Purpose: High-level architecture overview plus compact project header Key sections:

  • MODULES: All modules with basic stats
  • IMPORTS: Dependency relationships
  • EXPORTS: Public API surface and signatures
  • HEADER: Stats, alerts, hotspots, evolution trend

Example usage:

# See project structure
cat map.toon.yaml | head -50

# Find public APIs
grep "SIGNATURES" map.toon.yaml

project.toon.yaml - Compact Analysis View

Purpose: Compact module view generated from project.yaml data Status: Legacy view generated on demand from unified project.yaml

Example usage:

# View compact project structure
cat project.toon.yaml | head -30

# Find largest files
grep -E "^  .*[0-9]{3,}$" project.toon.yaml | sort -t',' -k2 -n -r | head -10

prompt.txt - Ready-to-Send LLM Prompt

Purpose: Pre-formatted prompt listing all generated files for LLM conversation Generation: Written when code2llm runs with a source path and requests -f all (including --no-chunk) or code2logic Contents:

  • Files section: Lists all existing generated files with descriptions, including project.toon.yaml when generated by -f all
  • Source files section: Highlights important source files such as cli_exports/orchestrator.py
  • Missing section: Shows which files weren't generated (if any)
  • Task section: Refactoring brief with concrete execution instructions, not just analysis
  • Priority Order section: State-dependent refactoring priorities, starting with blockers and then architecture cleanup
  • Requirements section: Guidelines for suggested changes

Example usage:

# View the prompt
cat prompt.txt

# Copy to clipboard and paste into ChatGPT/Claude
cat prompt.txt | pbcopy  # macOS
cat prompt.txt | xclip -sel clip  # Linux

context.md - LLM Narrative

Purpose: Ready-to-paste context for AI assistants Key sections:

  • Overview: Project statistics
  • Architecture: Module breakdown
  • Entry Points: Public interfaces
  • Patterns: Design patterns detected

Example usage:

# Copy to clipboard for LLM
cat context.md | pbcopy  # macOS
cat context.md | xclip -sel clip  # Linux

# Use with Claude/ChatGPT for code analysis

Visualization Files (*.mmd, *.png)

Purpose: Visual understanding of code structure Files:

  • flow.mmd - Detailed control flow with complexity colors
  • calls.mmd - Simple call graph
  • compact_flow.mmd - High-level module view
  • calls.yaml - Structured call graph data (YAML format)
  • *.png - Pre-rendered images

Example usage:

# View diagrams
open flow.png  # macOS
xdg-open flow.png  # Linux

# Edit in Mermaid Live Editor
# Copy content of .mmd files to https://mermaid.live

# Generate only call graph files (mermaid + YAML)
code2llm ./ -f mermaid

# Generate calls.yaml standalone (no visualization files)
code2llm ./ -f calls

🔍 Common Analysis Patterns

1. Code Health Assessment

# Quick health check
code2llm ./ -f toon
cat analysis.toon | grep -E "(HEALTH|REFACTOR)"

2. Refactoring Planning

# Get refactoring queue
code2llm ./ -f evolution
cat evolution.toon.yaml

# Focus on specific issues
code2llm ./ -f toon --refactor --smell god_function

3. LLM Assistance

# Generate context for AI
code2llm ./ -f context
cat context.md

# Use with Claude: "Based on this context, help me refactor the god modules"

4. Team Documentation

# Generate all docs for team
code2llm ./ -f all -o ./docs/

# Create visual diagrams
open docs/flow.png

📊 Interpreting Metrics

Complexity Metrics (CC)

  • 🔴 Critical (≥5.0): Immediate refactoring needed
  • 🟠 High (3.0-4.9): Consider refactoring
  • 🟡 Medium (1.5-2.9): Monitor complexity
  • 🟢 Low (0.1-1.4): Acceptable
  • ⚪ Basic (0.0): Simple functions

Module Health

  • GOD Module: Too large (>500 lines, >20 methods)
  • HUB: High fan-out (calls many modules)
  • FAN-IN: High incoming dependencies
  • CYCLES: Circular dependencies

Data Flow Indicators

  • PIPELINE: Sequential data processing
  • CONTRACT: Clear input/output specification
  • SIDE_EFFECT: External state modification

🛠️ Integration Examples

CI/CD Pipeline

#!/bin/bash
# Analyze code quality in CI
code2llm ./ -f toon -o ./analysis
if grep -q "🔴 GOD" ./analysis/analysis.toon; then
    echo "❌ God modules detected"
    exit 1
fi

Pre-commit Hook

#!/bin/sh
# .git/hooks/pre-commit
code2llm ./ -f toon -o ./temp_analysis
if grep -q "🔴" ./temp_analysis/analysis.toon; then
    echo "⚠️  Critical issues found. Review before committing."
fi
rm -rf ./temp_analysis

Documentation Generation

# Generate docs for README
code2llm ./ -f context -o ./docs/
echo "## Architecture" >> README.md
cat docs/context.md >> README.md

📚 Next Steps

  1. Review analysis.toon - Identify critical issues
  2. Check evolution.toon.yaml - Plan refactoring priorities
  3. Use context.md - Get LLM assistance for complex changes
  4. Reference visualizations - Understand system architecture
  5. Track progress - Re-run analysis after changes
