🦀 Rust Library Analyzer – Final Feature List (V1 + Ambitious Ideas) Core MVP (Do This First): Scan Crate Directory:
CLI takes a path to a Rust crate/project.
Public API Extraction:
List all public functions, structs, enums, traits, and type aliases.
Group by module, show where each item lives.
Undocumented Detector:
Flag every public item missing a /// doc comment.
Optionally, warn for lazy/empty comments (e.g. only “TODO”).
Trait Implementation Map:
List all traits and show which types implement them (as much as syn allows).
Bonus: List methods provided by traits.
Doc Linker:
For each item, print docs.rs URL (if crate is published), else local path for generating docs.
Print out the first usage example from doc comments (if found).
Colorized/Organized Output:
Clear terminal output, color by item type, organize by module.
Easy to scan and copy.
Help & Usage Flags:
Print help message, support filtering (e.g. show only undocumented items, only traits, etc.).
Killer Advanced Features (For Later Versions): API Diff/Changelog:
Compare two versions of a crate, highlight API additions, removals, and doc changes.
Coverage and Quality Audits:
Percent of public API documented, items with examples, average doc length.
Export as JSON/Graphviz:
For use in GUIs or for CI automation.
Structure Visualizer:
Output a module tree, trait/type relationship graph (ASCII or Graphviz format).
Unused/Deprecated Item Detector:
Flag #[deprecated] items or items never used within the crate.
“Explain” Command (AI Add-on):
For any function/type/trait, auto-generate a human-friendly explanation (use LLM or local AI).
Pluggable Checks:
Allow users to define custom rules or checks (e.g., “warn if a module has >20 pub items”).
What Makes It Unique: Builder’s Perspective: Not for users reading docs, but for authors improving code, doc coverage, and API quality.
Actionable Feedback: Instantly see what’s missing, weak, or complex.
Deep Insight: Not just a list—see relationships, gaps, examples, and quality at a glance.
Offline & Local: Works for private/WIP projects, not just published crates.
