Worth planning
Delete 29 unused symbols and files (599 lines)
Nothing in the graph reaches them, across 2 files; every reader and agent pays to skip them.

Improve what Repowise can see
Add a test coverage report
Without one, Repowise cannot tell tested code from untested code, so every test-related action says “unknown”.
- line coverage
- Unknown, no report
Small effortReview the 42 proposed decisions
None is accepted yet, so nothing can drift from one and agents get no enforced guidance from them.

Use burntsushi/ripgrep in your agent
Point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code at this repository. Your agent gets the index this page is built from: cited answers, callers, history and health for any file.
https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/burntsushi/ripgrepOne command, run anywhere. Adds the server to your local Claude Code config.

ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore This page is a map of the burntsushi/ripgrep repository, written primarily in Rust, rebuilt from the source each time it is indexed. Repowise parses every symbol, computes a dependency graph, scores per-file code health from complexity, duplication, test coverage and churn, mines git history for hotspots and ownership, and lifts the architectural decisions into documentation you can read here or query through MCP.
The codebase has 137 files and 4,791 symbols in 7 modules, led by Rust, Python and Ruby. Code health is 6.5 out of 10, rated fair.
