# sshah03/perspica

> A local Rust CLI for semantic diff review: parses both code versions with tree-sitter, separates mechanical noise from real changes, and surfaces hidden issues like stale calls. Aimed at reviewing changes made by coding agents.

- Magnitude: 2.1 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 10 total · +0 stars today, ≈ 7 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Developer tools · Language: Rust · License: MIT · Created: 2026-09-30 · Last push: 2026-10-01
- GitHub: https://github.com/sshah03/perspica · Homepage: https://github.com/sshah03/perspica · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/sshah03/perspica

## Useful for

- Check a pull request for calls not updated after a signature change
- Filter out reformatting and renames to see only real logic changes
- Show which agent edits match prompts from a Claude Code or Codex session

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 7 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 10 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 1
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 8 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2
- Latest release: v0.1.1 (2026-10-01)

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
