code-stats
Analyze codebase with tokei (fast line counts by language) and difft (semantic AST-aware diffs). Get quick project overview without manual counting. Triggers on: how big is codebase, count lines of code, what languages, show semantic diff, compare files, code statistics.
Best use case
code-stats is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Analyze codebase with tokei (fast line counts by language) and difft (semantic AST-aware diffs). Get quick project overview without manual counting. Triggers on: how big is codebase, count lines of code, what languages, show semantic diff, compare files, code statistics.
Teams using code-stats should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

summon
Transfer Claude Desktop Code-tab sessions between Claude accounts — copy (default) or move (--move) the session metadata file so the session shows up in another account's left-hand sidebar (the session picker on the left side of Desktop's Code tab). Two natural framings: push (run while still on your current near-limit account, send sessions to the next one, then Logout/Login as the natural switch) or pull (after switching accounts, bring earlier sessions into the now-active one). Push is the recommended workflow because the Logout/Login becomes invisible — it IS the switch you were going to do anyway. Triggers on: summon, summon sessions, push sessions, pull sessions, before switching accounts, account approaching usage limit, account ran out of usage, prepare next account, mid-flight desktop sessions, claude desktop multi-account workflow, transfer claude desktop sessions across accounts, peek session, see desktop sessions across accounts. Default copy keeps the session visible in both accounts' sidebars; --move for lean cleanup. Transcript JSONLs are account-agnostic and stay where they are — both wrappers point at the same conversation. No API calls, no summarisation, full transcripts intact. The left-hand session picker is loaded at login, so a Logout/Login on the destination is required for new sessions to appear there.
