analyze-patterns analyze-patterns Analyze codebase for patterns and similar implementations command analysis 1.0.0

Command: analyze-patterns

Description

Analyze codebase for recurring patterns, similar implementations, and refactoring opportunities. Replaces codebase-pattern-analyst subagent functionality with a command-based interface.

Usage

/analyze-patterns [--pattern=<pattern>] [--language=<lang>] [--depth=<level>] [--output=<format>]

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
--pattern string No Pattern name or regex to search for (e.g., "singleton", "factory", "error-handling")
--language string No Filter by language: js, ts, py, go, rust, java, etc.
--depth string No Search depth: shallow (current dir) | medium (src/) | deep (entire repo)
--output string No Output format: text (default) | json | markdown

Behavior

  • Searches codebase for pattern matches using regex + semantic analysis
  • Identifies similar implementations across files
  • Groups results by pattern type + similarity score
  • Suggests refactoring opportunities

Analysis Output

  • Pattern occurrences with file locations + line numbers
  • Similarity metrics (how similar are implementations?)
  • Refactoring suggestions (consolidate, extract, standardize)
  • Code quality insights (duplication, inconsistency)

Result Format

Pattern Analysis Report
=======================

Pattern: [pattern_name]
Occurrences: [count]
Files: [file_list]

Implementations:
  1. [file:line] - [description] (similarity: X%)
  2. [file:line] - [description] (similarity: Y%)
  ...

Refactoring Suggestions:
  - [suggestion 1]
  - [suggestion 2]
  ...

Quality Insights:
  - [insight 1]
  - [insight 2]
  ...

Examples

Find all error handling patterns

/analyze-patterns --pattern="error-handling" --language=ts

Analyze factory patterns across codebase

/analyze-patterns --pattern="factory" --depth=deep --output=json

Find similar API endpoint implementations

/analyze-patterns --pattern="api-endpoint" --language=js --output=markdown

Search for singleton patterns

/analyze-patterns --pattern="singleton" --depth=medium

Implementation

Delegation

  • Delegates to: opencoder (primary)
  • Uses context search capabilities for pattern matching
  • Returns structured pattern analysis results

Context Requirements

  • Codebase structure + file organization
  • Language-specific patterns + conventions
  • Project-specific naming conventions
  • Existing refactoring guidelines

Processing Steps

  1. Parse command parameters
  2. Validate pattern syntax (regex or predefined)
  3. Search codebase using glob + grep tools
  4. Analyze semantic similarity of matches
  5. Group results by pattern + similarity
  6. Generate refactoring suggestions
  7. Format output per requested format
  8. Return analysis report

Predefined Patterns

JavaScript/TypeScript

  • singleton - Singleton pattern implementations
  • factory - Factory pattern implementations
  • observer - Observer/event pattern implementations
  • error-handling - Error handling patterns
  • async-patterns - Promise/async-await patterns
  • api-endpoint - API endpoint definitions
  • middleware - Middleware implementations

Python

  • decorator - Decorator pattern implementations
  • context-manager - Context manager patterns
  • error-handling - Exception handling patterns
  • async-patterns - Async/await patterns
  • class-patterns - Class design patterns

Go

  • interface-patterns - Interface implementations
  • error-handling - Error handling patterns
  • goroutine-patterns - Goroutine patterns
  • middleware - Middleware implementations

Custom Patterns

Users can provide custom regex patterns for domain-specific analysis.

Output Formats
