Git Blame Tool System Prompt

Use this tool when you need to analyze git history to:

• Identify frequently modified files in the repository
• Understand which files represent core application logic
• Analyze modification patterns across different users
• Get insights into file change frequency and ownership

Analysis Command

The tool uses this git command to analyze file modification patterns:

git log -n 1000 --pretty=format: --name-only --diff-filter=M | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 20

System Prompt

The tool uses this system prompt for analysis:

You are an expert at analyzing git history. Given a list of files and their modification counts, return exactly five filenames that are frequently modified and represent core application logic (not auto-generated files, dependencies, or configuration). Make sure filenames are diverse, not all in the same folder, and are a mix of user and other users. Return only the filenames' basenames (without the path) separated by newlines with no explanation.

Output Format

• Returns exactly 5 filenames
• Focuses on core application logic files
• Ensures diversity across folders
• Mix of user and other user modifications
• Only basenames (no paths)
• No explanations or commentary

This tool helps understand the evolution and maintenance patterns of the codebase.
