Ideas

This is intended to be a haphazard list of ideas for the project. If anything resonates with you feel free to start a discussion since an idea being here does not imply any plan to implement it.

  1. Language Support Expansion
  • Add parsers for other popular languages like Python, TypeScript, and Rust
  • Create a modular parser interface that makes it easy for contributors to add new language support
  • Include special handling for configuration files (JSON, YAML, TOML) and documentation files (Markdown, RST)
  1. Enhanced Analysis Features
  • Generate dependency graphs between files and components
  • Add cyclomatic complexity analysis for supported languages
  • Include basic static analysis to identify potential code smells or anti-patterns
  • Add support for analyzing imported packages and external dependencies
  • Generate metrics like lines of code, comment ratio, and function complexity
  1. Output Format Improvements
  • Add support for different output formats (JSON, YAML, HTML)
  • Create a templating system for customizable output formats
  • Generate interactive HTML reports with collapsible sections and syntax highlighting
  • Add options for generating UML diagrams from code structure
  • Include a mode for generating documentation in standard formats (e.g., OpenAPI for REST APIs)
  1. Smart Filtering Capabilities
  • Add semantic-based filtering (e.g., "only public functions" or "only types that implement X interface")
  • Support regex patterns in addition to glob patterns
  • Add the ability to focus on specific code aspects (e.g., only interfaces, only exported symbols)
  • Include/exclude based on code complexity or other metrics
  1. Integration Features
  • Create GitHub Action for automated documentation generation
  • Add integration with popular documentation platforms (ReadTheDocs, Docusaurus)
  • Support for CI/CD pipelines with configurable outputs
  • Integrate with code review tools to provide structural insights
  • Add webhook support for automated processing
  1. Performance Optimizations
  • Implement parallel processing for file analysis
  • Add incremental processing mode that only analyzes changed files
  • Include caching mechanism for parsed results
  • Optimize memory usage for large codebases
  • Add streaming output options for very large projects
  1. Developer Experience
  • Add a config file option for persistent settings
  • Create an interactive mode with TUI interface
  • Add progress bars and better status reporting
  • Implement a debug mode with detailed logging
  • Add dry-run capability to preview output
  1. Code Quality & Testing
  • Add more comprehensive unit tests
  • Implement integration tests with various real-world codebases
  • Add benchmarking tests for performance monitoring
  • Implement fuzzing tests for the parser
  • Add end-to-end tests for common use cases
  1. LLM-Specific Enhancements
  • Add special formatting modes optimized for different LLM models
  • Include token counting and automatic chunking for large codebases
  • Add support for generating focused context windows
  • Implement smart summarization of large files
  • Add ability to generate targeted prompts for specific analysis tasks
  1. Error Handling & Reporting
  • Improve error messages with suggested fixes
  • Add validation for complex configurations
  • Implement graceful degradation when parsing fails
  • Add warning system for potential issues
  • Include detailed error context in output
  1. Security Features

  • Add support for detecting and handling sensitive information

  • Implement exclude patterns for security-sensitive files

  • Add options for obfuscating specific patterns (e.g., API keys)

  • Include basic security scanning capabilities

  • Add support for scanning dependencies for known vulnerabilities

  • Feature idea: flag to honour gitignore. Glob passing is already in, would just need a way to reliably read gitignore files. Should not overwrite other flags.
