Repo Autopsy – Transparent heuristics for repository install friction
by echoscarrie·Jul 28, 2026·2 points·0 comments
AI Analysis
●●SolidBig BrainCozy
Exposes hidden install costs and API key requirements that star counts completely hide.
Strengths
- •Calculates actual disk space usage by observing real installation on multiple platforms.
- •Detects pathology like missing API keys or account requirements before you clone.
- •No login required and processes public data only, respecting user privacy.
Weaknesses
- •Heuristics for 'friction' are subjective and may flag valid complex setups as negatives.
- •Limited to public repositories, missing private enterprise code analysis capabilities.

Vibe-coded – Rust CLI to discover LLM-assisted Git repositories
Handy CLI that actually pulls a repo and runs a battery of concrete heuristics — repo age, README keywords/emoji counts, commit velocity, presence of LLM-tool files, and simple commit-statistics — to guess whether code was prompt-expanded. The rule set is intentionally arbitrary and extensible, which makes this a useful starting point for audits or CI checks, but expect false positives and plan to tune or add rules for your context.
