Okulo, a CLI for finding code hotspots
Okulo is presented as a command-line tool that combines Git history, code complexity, and authorship to identify potential technical-debt hotspots.
- For
- Teams prioritizing refactors in Git repositories
- Worth noticing
- The command list spans hotspots, debt, coupling, ownership, bus factor, PR checks, maps, JSON-friendly reports, and an MCP server.
Field notes
The page organizes the CLI around distinct questions: change-frequency hotspots, active versus inactive debt, files that change together, ownership and bus factor, staged or PR checks, and maps. It also lists JSON-friendly analysis and an MCP server for coding agents. A terminal illustration shows a six-month window with 1,842 commits and 96 authors; those figures are example output, not independently attributable usage data. Installation instructions cover macOS/Linux and Windows PowerShell.
