repo-stats-autoupdate

repo-stats-autoupdate maintains accurate badge and inline count values in README.md by reading authoritative sources including graph.json for skill and agent counts, communities.json for community totals, the converted pipelines directory, and pytest test collection. It runs automatically on every commit via git pre-commit hook and gracefully skips fields when source data is unavailable, making it essential for keeping documentation synchronized with repository state before releases.

# repo-stats-autoupdate

## What this skill does

Reads the **authoritative sources** for the ctx repo's key numbers and patches `README.md` in place so badges and inline counts never drift:

| Number | Source of truth |
|---|---|
| Skills | `~/.claude/skill-wiki/graphify-out/graph.json` — count nodes where `type == "skill"` |
| Agents | same file — count nodes where `type == "agent"` |
| Graph nodes | `len(graph["nodes"])` |
| Graph edges | `len(graph["edges"])`, formatted as `642K` / `1.2M` |
| Communities | `graph/communities.json` → `total_communities` |
| Converted pipelines | `~/.claude/skill-wiki/converted/` subdir count |
| Tests | `pytest --collect-only -q` from `src/` |

Fields that can't be resolved (e.g. wiki not deployed) are left untouched — the updater never blocks a commit.

## How to use it

**One-time install (per clone):**
```bash
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
```

After that, every `git commit` runs `.githooks/pre-commit` which calls the updater and re-stages `README.md` if any number drifted.

**Manual run:**
```bash
python src/update_repo_stats.py          # patch README
python src/update_repo_stats.py --check  # exit 1 if stale (for CI)
```

## When NOT to use it

- When you've deliberately phrased a number descriptively (e.g. "over 1,700 skills") — the regex patterns only match exact digits, so prose phrasings are safe, but double-check after big imports.
- When the wiki isn't deployed locally. The updater degrades gracefully: it prints a warning and skips fields it can't resolve. It does **not** invent numbers.

## Known gaps (intentionally out of scope)

- **Does not rebuild the graph or wiki.** Rebuilding `graph/wiki-graph.tar.gz` takes minutes and churns a large artifact — too heavy for per-commit. Run `ctx-wiki-graphify`, then `python src/validate_graph_artifacts.py --deep`, and repack the tarball manually when the skill catalog changes materially.
- **Does not verify graph integrity.** If `graphify-out/graph.json` is corrupt, you'll get junk numbers. Run the wiki health check (`python src/wiki_orchestrator.py --check`) separately.
