Code health

9.2out of 10Excellent

This codebase scores 9.2 out of 10 for code health, which we rate excellent. It also scores maintainability 9.1 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: 667 of 36,965 files are git hotspots, and they average 8.0 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

How stablyai/orca works

Input enters through the desktop and mobile interfaces or Orca CLI commands. The orchestration system creates isolated worktrees and agent sessions, then streams their output back into the interface. The src directory holds the main application and orchestration code. The mobile directory provides mobile session interfaces for monitoring and steering agents. The cloud directory contains the relay that pairs the mobile app with a desktop host. The tests directory covers application behavior, including CLI skills and SSH migration links. Resulting session history, terminal activity, worktrees, and diffs can be browsed and reviewed in Orca.

The codebase has 36,965 files and 177,087 symbols in 13 modules, led by TypeScript, JavaScript and Swift. Code health is 9.2 out of 10, rated excellent.

Repowise built this map of stablyai/orca from its source and git history. It parses every symbol, draws the dependency graph, scores each file's health from complexity, duplication, coverage and churn, finds hotspots and owners in the history, and writes documentation for every module. Your coding agent reads the same index over MCP, so its answers cite real files.
