Analysis

contextkit analyze

Analyze your project and generate customized standards based on your actual codebase. Monorepo-aware: Automatically detects and prompts for frontend/backend scope.

contextkit analyze

Options:

--scope frontend|backend|both - Analyze specific scope (non-interactive)
--package <path> - Analyze specific package (e.g., apps/admin)
--non-interactive - Skip prompts

📦 Monorepo Support:

For monorepos, automatically detects packages and prompts to analyze frontend, backend, or both. Generates separate standards when analyzing both.
