Codemetry
A Laravel-first Composer package that analyses a Git repository and produces a metrics-based report — measuring code churn, scatter, follow-up fixes, and static analysis signals — to give teams an objective view of code quality over time. Supports AI-powered explanations via OpenAI, Claude, and DeepSeek, with full privacy: raw code never leaves your machine. Also available for WordPress (WP-CLI) and as a framework-agnostic core.
