# NW-HOTSPOT: Code Crime Scene Hotspot Lens **Wave**: CROSS_WAVE **Execution**: Inline (no agent — Claude executes git commands directly) **Inspiration**: Adam Tornhill's "Your Code as a Crime Scene" ## Overview Analyze git change frequency to identify the most-changed files in a codebase. Pure git churn — no complexity metrics. Use as a **pre-filter** to scope analysis or a **post-filter** to prioritize existing findings. ## How It Works Run `git log --name-only` over the configured time period, count commits per file, rank by frequency. ## Modes ### 1. Analyze (default) Show the most-changed files in the repo. Output is inline only — no files persisted. ``` /nw-hotspot /nw-hotspot --top=20 /nw-hotspot --since=12m ``` **Steps:** 1. Run: `git log --since={since} --format=format: --name-only | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn` 2. Exclude deleted files (verify each file still exists with `test -f`) 3. For each file, get last changed date: `git log -1 --format="%ar" -- {file}` 4. Display ranked table (top N): ``` Rank │ Commits │ Last Changed │ File ──────┼─────────┼──────────────┼───────────────────────── 1 │ 87 │ 2 days ago │ src/services/payment.ts 2 │ 64 │ 1 week ago │ src/api/controllers/user.ts 3 │ 51 │ 3 days ago │ src/models/order.ts ``` 5. Show summary: total files changed in period, time period, top N shown **Defaults:** `--top`: 15, `--since`: 6 months ### 2. Rank (post-filter) Overlay churn data on an existing analysis report
