Triggers: "how big is this project", "what languages", "project sizing", "repo recon", "LOC count", "scope check". Published by microsoft in github-copilot-modernization. This profile combines repository metadata with install, compatibility, and usage signals so developers can quickly decide whether it fits their agent workflow before opening the source repository.
Automated repository signals based on public metadata such as recency, license, installation evidence, and adoption. These are not a security audit or endorsement.

Skill instructions
Project Recon: Zero-Dependency Repo Sizing What this skill does Quickly answers: how big is this repo and what's in it. Shell-only (POSIX find + wc or PowerShell), runs anywhere, no install needed. Output Format Emit exactly this JSON structure — no additional fields: json { "totalloc": <int, "languages": { "<lang": <loc, ... }, "topleveldirs": <int, "primarylanguage": "<lang with highest LOC", "git": <bool } - totalloc: sum of non-blank lines across all detected source files - languages: per-language LOC breakdown (only languages actually found) - topleveldirs: count of immediate subdirectories under repo root (excluding hidden dirs) - primarylanguage: the language key with the highest LOC - git: whether the project root is a git repository (git rev-parse --git-dir succeeds) Do NOT add fields beyond this schema. No descriptions, no module lists, no domain analysis. Files | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | references/language-extensions.yaml | Language → file extension mapping + g
