- Classify patterns by type and frequency
- Note correlations between patterns
Expected Output:
- Categorized patterns with examples
- Frequency counts
- Identified correlations
Step 4: Insight Extraction
Instructions:
- Synthesize findings into key insights:
- What are the most significant patterns?
- What trends are emerging?
- What explains observed quality variations?
- What best practices are evident?
- Prioritize insights by importance
- Formulate evidence-based conclusions
Expected Output:
- Prioritized list of key insights
- Supporting evidence for each insight

Notes and Best Practices
Analysis Methodology:
- Be systematic: analyze all files consistently
- Be objective: base conclusions on evidence
- Be thorough: don't skip edge cases
- Be balanced: note both strengths and weaknesses
Pattern Detection Tips:
- Look for structural patterns (code organization, architecture)
- Identify behavioral patterns (how code solves problems)
- Note quality patterns (consistent issues or excellence)
- Track evolution patterns (how iterations change over time)
Effective Reporting:
- Start with executive summary (TL;DR)
- Support claims with specific examples
- Use tables and lists for clarity
- Include code snippets when relevant
- Make recommendations actionable and specific
- Prioritize findings by importance
Common Metrics:
- Lines of code (LOC)
- Cyclomatic complexity
- Documentation coverage
- Error/bug count
- Performance metrics
- Uniqueness score
- Compliance percentage
