| name | doey-scaffy-discover |
| description | Discover scaffolding patterns in this project — structural fingerprints, accretion files, and refactoring patterns from git history. Returns candidates worth turning into templates. |
- Project root: !
git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd
- Recent commits: !

Scan the current project for repeating structural patterns (handler+test pairs, config-block accretion, refactor recipes from history) and surface the ones worth promoting into reusable scaffy templates.
Usage
doey-scaffy discover [flags]
Flags
--depth N — how many commits of history to walk (default: 200)--category structural|injection|refactoring — restrict to one pattern class
- structural — sibling files that always appear together (handler.go + handler_test.go)
- injection — accretion blocks that grow over time (router tables, plugin registries, init() chains)
- refactoring — recurring rewrites visible in history (rename-a-field, swap-an-import)
--json — emit a machine-readable list of candidate patterns--cwd <dir> — working directory
Examples
doey-scaffy discover --category injection
doey-scaffy discover --depth 200 --json
Notes
- Discovery is read-only — it never writes templates
- Pipe output into
/doey-scaffy-new --from-files to convert a candidate into a draft template
- Skipped silently outside a git repository
