About this codebase
6,259 files and 66,319 symbols in 5 modules, led by C# (3,928 files) and C++ (1,333).
Built from the index
Code health
This codebase scores 7.1 out of 10 for code health, which we rate good. It also scores maintainability 8.1 and static performance 9.9 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 76 of 6,259 files are git hotspots, and they average 2.3 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

Microsoft PowerToys is a collection of utilities that supercharge productivity and customization on Windows This page is a map of the microsoft/powertoys repository, written primarily in C, 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 6,259 files and 66,319 symbols in 5 modules, led by C#, C++ and JavaScript. Code health is 7.1 out of 10, rated good.
