Example usage:

# Get refactoring plan
cat evolution.toon

# Track progress
grep "NEXT" evolution.toon

flow.toon - Data Flow Analysis

Purpose: Understand data movement through the system 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 - Structural Map

Purpose: High-level architecture overview Key sections:

• MODULES: All modules with basic stats
• IMPORTS: Dependency relationships
• SIGNATURES: Public API functions

Example usage:

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

# Find public APIs
grep "SIGNATURES" map.toon

project.toon - Project Logic (Code2Logic)

Purpose: Compact module view generated by code2logic integration Key sections:

• Modules list: All project modules with file sizes
• Imports: Dependency information
• Classes/Functions: Summary counts

When to use: When you need a lightweight project overview combined with code2llm analysis

Example usage:

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

# Find largest files
grep -E "^  .*[0-9]{3,}$" project.toon | 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 Contents:

• Files section: Lists all existing generated files with descriptions
• Missing section: Shows which files weren't generated (if any)
• Task section: Instructions for LLM analysis
• 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
• *.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

🔍 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

# 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
