I just dont think LLMs are very good at judging importance or summarizing code.

I tried experimenting with what is ultimately a treesitter based approach - https://github.com/0x007BA7/codebook

And really liked it. Definitely nowhere near production ready but I think theres room for a player to come in and do something similar.

yeah that was another thing i hoped would pour through here - that deterministic systems are much better for evaluating quality (test, linters, cyclomatic complexity, etc) - but that we don't have such a system for code maintainability, at least not one that's widely accepted or adopted
