Microsoft PowerToys is a collection of utilities that supercharge productivity and customization on Windows This page is an auto-generated, always-fresh map of the microsoft/powertoys repository, written primarily in C. Repowise indexes the source, 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 resulting architectural decisions into a wiki you can read or query through MCP.
The codebase has 6,259 source files, 66,319 symbols, and 11 languages, organised into 12 modules, led by csharp, cpp, markdown. Static analysis leaves 12,132 open findings across the three health dimensions.
