rai discover

Codebase discovery and analysis commands. Extract code symbols, analyze architecture, build the knowledge graph, and detect drift.

rai discover scan

Scan a directory and extract code symbols (classes, functions, methods, interfaces, module docstrings). Supports Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, PHP, Svelte, and C#.

Argument	Description
PATH	Directory to scan. Default: .

Flag	Short	Description
--language	-l	Language: python, typescript, javascript, php, svelte, csharp (auto-detect if not set)
--output	-o	Output format: human, json, summary. Default: human
--pattern	-p	Glob pattern for files
--exclude	-e	Patterns to exclude (repeatable)

# Scan current directory (auto-detect languages)
rai discover scan

# Scan Python files only
rai discover scan src/ --language python

# JSON output for piping
rai discover scan src/ -l python -o json

# Exclude tests
rai discover scan . --exclude "**/test_*" --exclude "**/__tests__/**"

---

rai discover analyze

Analyze scan results with confidence scoring and module grouping. All analysis is deterministic — no AI inference required.

Flag	Short	Description
--input	-i	Path to scan result JSON (reads stdin if not provided)
--output	-o	Output format: human, json, summary. Default: human
--category-map	-c	YAML file with custom path-to-category mappings

# Analyze from file
rai discover analyze --input scan-result.json

# Pipe from scan
rai discover scan src/ -l python -o json | rai discover analyze

# Summary only
rai discover analyze --input scan-result.json --output summary

---

rai discover build

Build unified graph with discovered components. Integrates validated components into the knowledge graph.

Flag	Short	Description
--input	-i	Path to validated components JSON
--project-root	-r	Project root directory. Default: .
--output	-o	Output format: human, json, summary. Default: human

# Build with default input
rai discover build

# Build with custom input
rai discover build --input my-components.json

---

rai discover drift

Check for architectural drift against baseline components. Compares scanned code against validated baseline to detect files in wrong locations, naming violations, and missing documentation.

Argument	Description
PATH	Directory to scan for drift. Default: src/

Flag	Short	Description
--project-root	-r	Project root directory. Default: .
--output	-o	Output format: human, json, summary. Default: human

# Check entire project
rai discover drift

# Check specific directory
rai discover drift src/new_module/

# JSON output
rai discover drift --output json

Exit codes: 0 no drift, 1 drift warnings found.
