π¦ NekoCode: The Next-Gen Impact Analysis Tool Revolutionizing PR Reviews
TL;DR
NekoCode is a Rust-based code analysis tool that's 16x faster.
PR Pre-Check Feature automatically analyzes the impact of changes.
GitHub Actions Integration automatically generates reports on PR creation.
Instantly detects circular dependencies, complexity, and risk.
Supports 8 languages (JS/TS/Python/C++/C#/Go/Rust/C).
π Why We Built NekoCode
Have you ever had these experiences in modern development?
Bash
π¨βπ» Developer Struggles
- "I don't know the scope of this PR's impact..."
- "Did I just create a circular dependency?"
- "I'm worried if the code complexity has increased."
- "I'm concerned about missing something in the review."
NekoCode solves these problems in under a second.
π‘ What is NekoCode?
NekoCode is a Rust-based code analysis tool that achieves 16x faster performance by integrating Tree-sitter.

π§ Advanced Usage
- CI/CD Pipeline Integration
YAML
.github/workflows/pr-check.yml
Fail if complexity exceeds a threshold
- name: Check Complexity run: | COMPLEXITY=$(nekocode-rust analyze-impact . --format json | jq '.complexity_change.after') if (( $(echo "$COMPLEXITY > 2.0" | bc -l) )); then echo "β Complexity too high: $COMPLEXITY" exit 1 fi
- pre-commit hook
Bash
!/bin/sh
.git/hooks/pre-commit
nekocode-rust analyze-impact . --compare-ref HEAD~1 --risk-threshold medium
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "β High-risk changes detected. Use --force to override."
exit 1

π The Real-World Impact
Before: The Limits of Manual Review
π¨βπ» "What's the scope of impact for this function change?"
π€ "30 minutes spent with grep..."
π° "Worrying about missing a bug."
After: Adopting NekoCode
π€ "Impact analysis complete (0.3s)."
π "12 files, 23 locations affected."
β
"No circular dependencies, low risk."
Result: 90% reduction in review time & improved bug detection rate.
