What this skill does


# Component Usage Analytics

## Overview

Track component usage across your codebase to make data-driven decisions about deprecation, refactoring, and component library management.

**Key Use Cases:**
- Find all usages of a component
- Analyze impact of breaking changes
- Plan component deprecations
- Track adoption of new components
- Identify unused components

## When to Use This Skill

Trigger this skill when the user:
- Asks "where is this component used?"
- Wants to "deprecate a component" or "plan a migration"
- Mentions "component analytics" or "usage tracking"
- Asks about "which components are unused"
- Wants to "analyze breaking change impact"
- Needs to "track component adoption"

## Core Capabilities

### 1. Usage Analysis

Find all component usages with context:

```bash
$ npm run analyze:usage Button

Analyzing Button component...

๐Ÿ“Š Usage Report:

Total Usages: 52 imports across 47 files

By Feature:
  - Dashboard: 15 usages (8 files)
  - Settings: 12 usages (7 files)
  - Profile: 8 usages (5 files)
  - Auth: 7 usages (4 files)
  - Admin: 10 usages (23 files)

By Variant:
  - Primary: 34 usages (65%)
  - Secondary: 13 usages (25%)
  - Outline: 5 usages (10%)

Recent Changes:
  - Button@v2 released 14 days ago
  - 8 files still using Button@v1 (deprecated)
  - Migration progress: 83% (44/52 files)

Top Users (files with most usages):
  1. src/features/Dashboard/widgets.tsx (6 usages)
  2. src/features/Settings/preferences.tsx (4 usages)
  3. src/features/Profile/edit.tsx (3 usages)
```

### 2. Deprecation Planning

Analyze impact before deprecating:

```bash
$ npm run analyze:deprecate Button@v1

โš ๏ธ Deprecation Impact Analysis: Button@v1

Current Usage:
  - 8 files still using v1
  - 12 total usages
  - Across 3 features

Migration Effort:
  Low effort: 5 files (simple props update)
  Medium effort: 2 files (variant renamed)
  High effort: 1 file (custom styling conflicts)

Breaking Changes in v2:
  1. 'success' variant removed โ†’ use 'primary' with success color
  2. 'loading' prop renamed โ†’ use 'pending' prop
  3. 'icon' prop now requires IconComponent type

Estimated Migration Time:
  - Low effort files: 30 mins total (6 mins each)
  - Medium effort files: 1 hour total (30 mins each)
  - High effort file: 2 hours (complex refactor)
  Total: ~3.5 hours

Recommendations:
  1. Create migration guide for developers
  2. Add deprecation warnings to v1
  3. Set sunset date: 30 days from now
  4. Track migration progress weekly

Generate migration guide? [Yes] [No]
```

### 3. Unused Component Detection

Find components that can be removed:

```bash
$ npm run analyze:unused

Scanning codebase...

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Unused Components (12 found):

Safe to Remove (no usages):
  1. LegacyCard - Last used 6 months ago
  2. OldButton - Replaced by Button v2
  3. DeprecatedModal - Migrated to Modal v3

Potentially Unused (only in stories/tests):
  4. ExperimentalBadge - Used in Storybook only
  5. PrototypeAlert - Used in visual tests only

Low Usage (< 5 usages):
  6. RareTooltip - 2 usages (last 90 days)
  7. SpecializedInput - 3 usages (niche use case)

Recommendations:
  - Remove: LegacyCard, OldButton, DeprecatedModal
  - Review: ExperimentalBadge, PrototypeAlert
  - Keep: RareTooltip, SpecializedInput (still needed)

Estimated bundle savings: 47 KB (8% reduction)
```

### 4. Adoption Tracking

Track new component adoption:

```bash
$ npm run analyze:adoption Button@v2

๐Ÿ“ˆ Adoption Report: Button@v2 (released 14 days ago)

Current Adoption:
  - 44 files using v2 (83%)
  - 8 files still on v1 (17%)

Adoption Trend:
  Day 1-7:   32 files migrated (61%)
  Day 8-14:  12 files migrated (22%)
  This week: 0 new migrations

Migration Velocity:
  - Week 1: 4.6 files/day
  - Week 2: 1.7 files/day
  - Slowing down โš ๏ธ

Blockers:
  - High effort migration in src/Admin/dashboard.tsx
  - Team waiting for migration guide
  - Need code review bandwidth

Actions:
  1. Publish migration guide (high priority)
  2. Schedule pairing session for high-effort file
  3. Set team goal: 100% migration by end of month
```

## Technical Implementation

### Component Usage Scanner

```typescript
// scripts/scan-usage.ts

interface ComponentUsage {
  component: string;
  version: string;
  file: string;
  line: number;
  importPath: string;
  props: string[];
  variant?: string;
}

async function scanComponentUsage(
  componentName: string
): Promise<ComponentUsage[]> {
  const usages: ComponentUsage[] = [];

  // Find all files importing the component
  const files = await findImports(componentName);

  for (const file of files) {
    const ast = parseFile(file);

    // Find JSX usages
    const jsxElements = findJSXElements(ast, componentName);

    for (const element of jsxElements) {
      usages.push({
        component: componentName,
        version: getComponentVersion(file, componentName),
        file: file.path,
        line: element.loc.start.line,
        importPath: getImportPath(ast, componentName),
        props: extractProps(element),
        variant: getVariant(element),
      });
    }
  }

  return usages;
}

function getVariant(element: JSXElement): string | undefined {
  // Look for variant prop
  const variantProp = element.attributes.find(
    attr => attr.name === 'variant'
  );

  if (variantProp && variantProp.value.type === 'StringLiteral') {
    return variantProp.value.value;
  }

  return undefined;
}
```

### Deprecation Impact Analyzer

```typescript
// scripts/analyze-deprecation.ts

interface DeprecationImpact {
  component: string;
  version: string;
  totalUsages: number;
  affectedFiles: number;
  affectedFeatures: string[];
  migrationEffort: {
    low: number;
    medium: number;
    high: number;
  };
  breakingChanges: string[];
  estimatedHours: number;
}

async function analyzeDeprecationImpact(
  component: string,
  version: string
): Promise<DeprecationImpact> {
  const usages = await scanComponentUsage(component);
  const versionUsages = usages.filter(u => u.version === version);

  // Group by file
  const fileGroups = groupBy(versionUsages, u => u.file);

  // Analyze migration effort for each file
  const efforts = await Promise.all(
    Object.entries(fileGroups).map(([file, fileUsages]) =>
      analyzeMigrationEffort(file, fileUsages)
    )
  );

  // Categorize by effort
  const migrationEffort = {
    low: efforts.filter(e => e.effort === 'low').length,
    medium: efforts.filter(e => e.effort === 'medium').length,
    high: efforts.filter(e => e.effort === 'high').length,
  };

  // Estimate total hours
  const estimatedHours =
    migrationEffort.low * 0.1 +
    migrationEffort.medium * 0.5 +
    migrationEffort.high * 2;

  // Get breaking changes
  const breakingChanges = await getBreakingChanges(component, version);

  return {
    component,
    version,
    totalUsages: versionUsages.length,
    affectedFiles: Object.keys(fileGroups).length,
    affectedFeatures: extractFeatures(versionUsages),
    migrationEffort,
    breakingChanges,
    estimatedHours,
  };
}

async function analyzeMigrationEffort(
  file: string,
  usages: ComponentUsage[]
): Promise<{ file: string; effort: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high' }> {
  const code = await readFile(file);

  // Factors that increase effort:
  // - Custom styling on component
  // - Complex prop transformations
  // - Type conflicts
  // - Multiple usages in same file

  let complexityScore = 0;

  // Check for custom styling
  if (code.includes('styled(') && code.includes(usages[0].component)) {
    complexityScore += 2;
  }

  // Check for prop spreading
  if (usages.some(u => u.props.includes('...'))) {
    complexityScore += 1;
  }

  // Number of usages
  if (usages.length > 5) {
    complexityScore += 1;
  }

  // Categorize
  if (complexityScore === 0) return { file, effort: 'low' };
  if (complexityScore <= 2) return { file, effort: 'medium' };
  return { file, effort: 'high' };
}
```
