| Rating | Description |
|---|---|
| ✅ Good | Found relevant files, correct pattern examples, useful for learning |
| Found some relevant files, may include false positives or miss some patterns | |
| ❌ Poor | Failed to find relevant patterns or returned mostly irrelevant results |
All tests scan <1.5% of files, following information theory principles.
Traditional: 100% file scan
SourceAtlas: <1.5% file scan → 70-95% understanding
Efficiency: 20x improvement
- 100% Good quality on Swift projects
- Works across SwiftUI, UIKit, MVVM, Coordinator patterns
- Handles large projects (200K+ LOC) well
| Project Size | Typical Time |
|---|---|
| Small (<1K files) | <1 second |
| Medium (1-3K files) | 1-5 seconds |
| Large (>3K files) | 5-15 seconds |
Successfully tested on projects ranging from 596 to 4,993 source files (8x range).
- "dependency injection" pattern may have false positives
- Classes starting with "Di" (e.g.,
DigestingRequestBody) incorrectly matched - Workaround: Use specific terms like "hilt", "dagger", "inject"
- Projects using non-MVVM patterns may have lower detection rates
- AntennaPod showed lower results (possibly uses different architecture)
- Some patterns like "api endpoint" not well supported
- Best results with "router", "handler", "view" patterns
Clone a test project and run:
# Clone a test project
git clone https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin.git ~/test/Swiftfin
cd ~/test/Swiftfin
# Run SourceAtlas pattern detection
/atlas.pattern "networking"
/atlas.pattern "viewmodel"
/atlas.pattern "coordinator"Compare your results with the tables above.
✅ Excellent for:
- Swift/iOS projects (MVVM, Coordinator, Networking)
- Large codebases (100K+ LOC)
- Quick pattern discovery and learning
- Code review preparation
- Kotlin DI patterns (verify results manually)
- Projects with unconventional architectures
- Python patterns beyond routers
❌ Not recommended for:
- Small projects (<2K LOC) - reading directly is faster
- 100% precision requirements - use static analysis tools
- Production decisions - combine with other tools
