Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.
Show file hotspots (high churn times complexity) for review prioritization. Use when the user asks where defects concentrate or which files to review first.
Install
npx vskill@latest install michael-denyer/black-box-unlock/hotspotsSKILL.md
Identify the files most likely to harbor defects:
- Run:
bbu analyze-repo --output=json --days=90 --no-ci, or call the
get_hotspots MCP tool with days=90 when the black-box-unlock server is connected (roles=["source"] drops tests and docs from the ranking).
- From the
filesarray, take the top 10 byhotspot_score. - Present a table: path, commits, complexity, hotspot_score, bugfix_commits.
- For the top 3, read the file and name the specific complexity driver
(deep nesting, long functions, mixed responsibilities). xray_file gives per-function revisions, with complexity for Python and revisions only for other languages git has a diff driver for.
- Suggest the single highest-leverage refactoring for each.
The score is Tornhill's hotspot formula: change frequency x complexity. A high score means the team keeps modifying code that is hard to modify safely.
