.claude/skills/history-analyzer/# History Analyzer ## When to Use Trigger this skill when the user: - Wants to find code hotspots (frequently changed files) - Needs to identify who knows specific code areas - Asks about bus factor or knowledge distribution - Wants to find hidden coupling between files - Asks "who should I ask about X" ## Instructions 1. Run `/sourceatlas:history` for the entire repo, or `/sourceatlas:history <path>` for specific directory 2. Optionally specify time range: `/sourceatlas:history . 6` for last 6 months 3. Returns hotspots, coupling analysis, and contributor distribution ## Command Formats - Full repo: `/sourceatlas:history` - Specific directory: `/sourceatlas:history src/` - With time range: `/sourceatlas:history . 6` (last 6 months) ## What User Gets - Hotspots: Files with most changes (complexity indicators) - Temporal Coupling: Files that always change together (hidden dependencies) - Recent Contributors: Who knows what areas - Bus Factor Risk: Single-contributor files - Priority actions for refactoring ## Example Triggers - "What are the hotspots in this codebase?" - "Who knows the payment module best?" - "What files always change together?" - "Is there any bus factor risk?" - "Show me knowledge distribution"
