Auto-generate unit tests by analyzing execution paths through a function. Finds edge cases, branches, and error conditions automatically.

A test file with:
Supports:

assert calculate_tax(100) == 10.0

pytest test_*.pyGenerate tests BEFORE refactoring to create a safety baseline:
/cs-tests src/legacy_code.py function complex_function
# Now safe to refactor—tests will catch breakage
/cs-refactor src/legacy_code.py function complex_function
See CLAUDE.md for the full test generation workflow.
Analyze code structure: parse functions, classes, imports, and complexity metrics. Use to understand a file or project without reading the source code directly.
Extract a specific function, class, or method from a file using Code Scalpel. Use when you need to show a symbol without reading the entire file—saves 95% of context.
Map project architecture: discover modules, build call graphs, visualize structure, trace critical paths. Complete architecture overview with dependency flows.
Verify code compliance with policies and standards: HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS, custom style guides. Validate policy file integrity with cryptographic verification.
Safe refactoring workflow: find all usages, trace dependencies, simulate changes, generate baseline tests, then apply with backup. Behavior-preserving refactor.
Full security audit: detect local vulnerabilities, cross-file taint flows, CVEs in dependencies, and polyglot sink patterns. Complete security scan pipeline.
