Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source, local codebase analyzer that tracks architecture, complexity, dependencies, maintainability, and change impact during AI-assisted development.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-22 issue.

Why it surfaced

Little Owl reviews the shape of an entire project rather than just the latest diff, flagging issues such as skipped application layers and circular dependencies. Its local, deterministic design, detailed documentation, example output, and explicit baseline-and-drift model make this a notably concrete response to AI-era codebase decay.
