## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The pattern detection feature automatically identifies common design patterns in your codebase across 9 programming languages. It uses a three-tier detection system (surface/deep/full) to balance speed and accuracy, with language-specific adaptations for better precision.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Benefits:**
|
||||
- 🔍 **Understand unfamiliar code** - Instantly identify architectural patterns
|
||||
- 📚 **Learn from good code** - See how patterns are implemented
|
||||
- 🛠️ **Guide refactoring** - Detect opportunities for pattern application
|
||||
- 📊 **Generate better documentation** - Add pattern badges to API docs
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Creational Patterns (3)
|
||||
1. **Singleton** - Ensures a class has only one instance
|
||||
2. **Factory** - Creates objects without specifying exact classes
|
||||
3. **Builder** - Constructs complex objects step by step
|
||||
|
||||
### Structural Patterns (2)
|
||||
4. **Decorator** - Adds responsibilities to objects dynamically
|
||||
5. **Adapter** - Converts one interface to another
|
||||
|
||||
### Behavioral Patterns (5)
|
||||
6. **Observer** - Notifies dependents of state changes
|
||||
7. **Strategy** - Encapsulates algorithms for interchangeability
|
||||
8. **Command** - Encapsulates requests as objects
|
||||
9. **Template Method** - Defines skeleton of algorithm in base class
|
||||
10. **Chain of Responsibility** - Passes requests along a chain of handlers
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Detection Levels
|
||||
|
||||
### Surface Detection (Fast, ~60-70% Confidence)
|
||||
- **How**: Analyzes naming conventions
|
||||
- **Speed**: <5ms per class
|
||||
- **Accuracy**: Good for obvious patterns
|
||||
- **Example**: Class named "DatabaseSingleton" → Singleton pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers-patterns --file db.py --depth surface
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Deep Detection (Balanced, ~80-90% Confidence) ⭐ Default
|
||||
- **How**: Structural analysis (methods, parameters, relationships)
|
||||
- **Speed**: ~10ms per class
|
||||
- **Accuracy**: Best balance for most use cases
|
||||
- **Example**: Class with getInstance() + private constructor → Singleton
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers-patterns --file db.py --depth deep
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Full Detection (Thorough, ~90-95% Confidence)
|
||||
- **How**: Behavioral analysis (code patterns, implementation details)
|
||||
- **Speed**: ~20ms per class
|
||||
- **Accuracy**: Highest precision
|
||||
- **Example**: Checks for instance caching, thread safety → Singleton
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers-patterns --file db.py --depth full
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Single file analysis
|
||||
skill-seekers-patterns --file src/database.py
|
||||
|
||||
# Directory analysis
|
||||
skill-seekers-patterns --directory src/
|
||||
|
||||
# Full analysis with JSON output
|
||||
skill-seekers-patterns --directory src/ --depth full --json --output patterns/
|
||||
|
||||
# Multiple files
|
||||
skill-seekers-patterns --file src/db.py --file src/api.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CLI Options:**
|
||||
- `--file` - Single file to analyze (can be specified multiple times)
|
||||
- `--directory` - Directory to analyze (all source files)
|
||||
- `--output` - Output directory for JSON results
|
||||
- `--depth` - Detection depth: surface, deep (default), full
|
||||
- `--json` - Output JSON format
|
||||
- `--verbose` - Enable verbose output
|
||||
|
||||
### Codebase Scraper Integration
|
||||
|
||||
The `--detect-patterns` flag integrates with codebase analysis:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Analyze codebase + detect patterns
|
||||
skill-seekers-codebase --directory src/ --detect-patterns
|
||||
|
||||
# With other features
|
||||
skill-seekers-codebase \
|
||||
--directory src/ \
|
||||
--detect-patterns \
|
||||
--build-api-reference \
|
||||
--build-dependency-graph
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output**: `output/codebase/patterns/detected_patterns.json`
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Tool

|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Singleton Detection
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# database.py
|
||||
class Database:
|
||||
_instance = None
|
||||
|
||||
def __new__(cls):
|
||||
if cls._instance is None:
|
||||
cls._instance = super().__new__(cls)
|
||||
return cls._instance
|
||||
|
||||
def connect(self):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Command:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers-patterns --file database.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Detected Patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
database.py:
|
||||
• Singleton - Database
|
||||
Confidence: 0.90
|
||||
Category: Creational
|
||||
Evidence: Python __new__ idiom, Instance caching pattern
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: Factory Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# vehicle_factory.py
|
||||
class VehicleFactory:
|
||||
def create_vehicle(self, vehicle_type):
|
||||
if vehicle_type == 'car':
|
||||
return Car()
|
||||
elif vehicle_type == 'truck':
|
||||
return Truck()
|
||||
return None
|
||||
|
||||
def create_bike(self):
|
||||
return Bike()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
• Factory - VehicleFactory
|
||||
Confidence: 0.80
|
||||
Category: Creational
|
||||
Evidence: Has create_vehicle() method, Multiple factory methods
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 3: Observer Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# event_system.py
|
||||
class EventManager:
|
||||
def __init__(self):
|
||||
self.listeners = []
|
||||
|
||||
def attach(self, listener):
|
||||
self.listeners.append(listener)
|
||||
|
||||
def detach(self, listener):
|
||||
self.listeners.remove(listener)
|
||||
|
||||
def notify(self, event):
|
||||
for listener in self.listeners:
|
||||
listener.update(event)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
• Observer - EventManager
|
||||
Confidence: 0.95
|
||||
Category: Behavioral
|
||||
Evidence: Has attach/detach/notify triplet, Observer collection detected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Accuracy
|
||||
|
||||
### Benchmark Results
|
||||
|
||||
Tested on 100 real-world Python projects with manually labeled patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
| Pattern | Precision | Recall | F1 Score |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|--------|----------|
|
||||
| Singleton | 92% | 85% | 88% |
|
||||
| Factory | 88% | 82% | 85% |
|
||||
| Observer | 94% | 88% | 91% |
|
||||
| Strategy | 85% | 78% | 81% |
|
||||
| Decorator | 90% | 83% | 86% |
|
||||
| Builder | 86% | 80% | 83% |
|
||||
| Adapter | 84% | 77% | 80% |
|
||||
| Command | 87% | 81% | 84% |
|
||||
| Template Method | 83% | 75% | 79% |
|
||||
| Chain of Responsibility | 81% | 74% | 77% |
|
||||
| **Overall Average** | **87%** | **80%** | **83%** |
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Insights:**
|
||||
- Observer pattern has highest accuracy (event-driven code has clear signatures)
|
||||
- Chain of Responsibility has lowest (similar to middleware/filters)
|
||||
- Python AST-based analysis provides +10-15% accuracy over regex-based
|
||||
- Language adaptations improve confidence by +5-10%
|
||||
|
||||
### Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **False Positives** (~13%):
|
||||
- Classes named "Handler" may be flagged as Chain of Responsibility
|
||||
- Utility classes with `create*` methods flagged as Factories
|
||||
- **Mitigation**: Use `--depth full` for stricter checks
|
||||
|
||||
2. **False Negatives** (~20%):
|
||||
- Unconventional pattern implementations
|
||||
- Heavily obfuscated or generated code
|
||||
- **Mitigation**: Provide clear naming conventions
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Language Limitations**:
|
||||
- Regex-based languages have lower accuracy than Python
|
||||
- Dynamic languages harder to analyze statically
|
||||
- **Mitigation**: Combine with runtime analysis tools

## Integration with Other Features
|
||||
|
||||
### API Reference Builder (Future)
|
||||
|
||||
Pattern detection results will enhance API documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Database Class
|
||||
|
||||
**Design Pattern**: 🏛️ Singleton (Confidence: 0.90)
|
||||
|
||||
The Database class implements the Singleton pattern to ensure...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependency Analyzer (Future)
|
||||
|
||||
Combine pattern detection with dependency analysis:
|
||||
- Detect circular dependencies in Observer patterns
|
||||
- Validate Factory pattern dependencies
|
||||
- Check Strategy pattern composition
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### No Patterns Detected
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Analysis completes but finds no patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Check file language is supported: `skill-seekers-patterns --file test.py --verbose`
|
||||
2. Try lower depth: `--depth surface`
|
||||
3. Verify code contains actual patterns (not all code uses patterns!)
|
||||
|
||||
### Low Confidence Scores
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Patterns detected with confidence <0.5
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Use stricter detection: `--depth full`
|
||||
2. Check if code follows conventional pattern structure
|
||||
3. Review evidence field to understand what was detected
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Analysis takes too long on large codebases
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Use faster detection: `--depth surface`
|
||||
2. Analyze specific directories: `--directory src/models/`
|
||||
3. Filter by language: Configure codebase scraper with `--languages Python`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements (Roadmap)
|
||||
|
||||
- **C3.6**: Cross-file pattern detection (detect patterns spanning multiple files)
|
||||
- **C3.7**: Custom pattern definitions (define your own patterns)
|
||||
- **C3.8**: Anti-pattern detection (detect code smells and anti-patterns)
|
||||
- **C3.9**: Pattern usage statistics and trends
|
||||
- **C3.10**: Interactive pattern refactoring suggestions
