ks-trellis 1.3.0

Project structure tree visualizer with Python AST analysis and change tracking

Trellis

Project structure tree visualizer with Python AST analysis and change tracking.

Trellis scans a directory tree and produces a text representation that includes Python classes, functions, signatures, decorators, and call flow analysis. It tracks structural changes between runs and generates categorized change summaries with timestamped log files.

Installation

pip install trellis

Quick Start

Run from any directory inside a project. Trellis auto-discovers the project root by walking upward looking for .git, pyproject.toml, and other markers.

trellis

Or run as a Python module:

python -m trellis

Output is saved to docs/{project}_structure.txt. On subsequent runs, trellis detects and reports structural changes.

# tr_meta:D1I1F1T1@1C0P1V0U0S0Wsmart

Markers: [pkg] = Python package, [cmd] = has __main__.py, [typed] = has py.typed

Line counts: {85} = 85 lines of source code

Call flow: calls: build_config -> process_data -> run shows orchestration function call chains (SMART mode filters for high-signal calls)

Wrapper collapse: /wrapper\ tags decorator boilerplate that wraps a single inner function

CLI Flags

trellis --show-private          # include _private members
trellis --show-dunder           # include __dunder__ methods
trellis --show-all              # show everything
trellis --hide-all              # hide private/dunder/mangled, disable call flow
trellis --call-flow raw         # show all calls without filtering
trellis --call-flow off         # disable call flow display
trellis --hide-types            # omit type annotations
trellis --hide-decorators       # omit decorator rendering
