Code Insight & Refactoring FAQs

Question 1

How does Insight save context window space?

Accepted Answer

Insight intelligently truncates large source code blocks (>50 lines) while providing structural metadata and line counts to prevent context overflow while maintaining understanding.

Question 2

Can I use Insight to find dead or unused code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the suggest_refactoring tool includes a specific focus for detecting unused functions and high coupling, helping you prune and clean your codebase.

Question 3

Does this skill work on specific functions or entire directories?

Accepted Answer

Both. You can target individual symbols (classes/functions), specific files, or entire directories to get the appropriate level of detail for your task.

Question 4

What is the benefit of using 'insight' over standard file reading tools?

Accepted Answer

Insight combines information from multiple sources—file system, git logs, and symbol parsers—into a single response, reducing the number of tool calls and the time it takes for an AI to understand a module.

Question 5

How are refactoring suggestions prioritized?

Accepted Answer

Suggestions are categorized into High, Medium, and Low priority based on metrics like function length, number of imports, and cyclomatic complexity.
