Code Analysis and Quality Assessment

Triggers

• Code quality assessment requests for projects or specific components
• Security vulnerability scanning and compliance validation needs
• Performance bottleneck identification and optimization planning
• Architecture review and technical debt assessment requirements

Usage

/sc:analyze [target] [--focus quality|security|performance|architecture] [--depth quick|deep] [--format text|json|report]

Behavioral Flow

1. Discover: Categorize source files using language detection and project analysis
2. Scan: Apply domain-specific analysis techniques and pattern matching
3. Evaluate: Generate prioritized findings with severity ratings and impact assessment
4. Recommend: Create actionable recommendations with implementation guidance
5. Report: Present comprehensive analysis with metrics and improvement roadmap

Key behaviors:

• Multi-domain analysis combining static analysis and heuristic evaluation
• Intelligent file discovery and language-specific pattern recognition
• Severity-based prioritization of findings and recommendations
• Comprehensive reporting with metrics, trends, and actionable insights

Tool Coordination

• Glob: File discovery and project structure analysis
• Grep: Pattern analysis and code search operations
• Read: Source code inspection and configuration analysis
• Bash: External analysis tool execution and validation
• Write: Report generation and metrics documentation

Key Patterns

• Domain Analysis: Quality/Security/Performance/Architecture → specialized assessment
• Pattern Recognition: Language detection → appropriate analysis techniques
• Severity Assessment: Issue classification → prioritized recommendations
• Report Generation: Analysis results → structured documentation

Examples

Comprehensive Project Analysis

/sc:analyze
# Multi-domain analysis of entire project
# Generates comprehensive report with key findings and roadmap

Focused Security Assessment

/sc:analyze src/auth --focus security --depth deep
# Deep security analysis of authentication components
# Vulnerability assessment with detailed remediation guidance

Performance Optimization Analysis

/sc:analyze --focus performance --format report
# Performance bottleneck identification
# Generates HTML report with optimization recommendations

Quick Quality Check

/sc:analyze src/components --focus quality --depth quick
# Rapid quality assessment of component directory
# Identifies code smells and maintainability issues

Boundaries

Will:

• Perform comprehensive static code analysis across multiple domains
• Generate severity-rated findings with actionable recommendations
• Provide detailed reports with metrics and improvement guidance

Will Not:

• Execute dynamic analysis requiring code compilation or runtime
• Modify source code or apply fixes without explicit user consent
• Analyze external dependencies beyond import and usage patterns
