A developer quits. You spend the next three months figuring out what they owned. Kinlyze is a CLI that maps knowledge concentration risk in any Git repo using only git metadata - no source code is ever read. It scores every file by recency-weighted commits, change significance, and contributor exclusivity to surface bus factor risks, single-owner modules, and end-to-end user flows owned by one person. One command, full visibility. Ships as a single binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Hey Product Hunt! I built Kinlyze because every team I've worked on discovered their bus factor problem after someone had already left - by then the knowledge was gone.
I ran it on FastAPI as a case study: 535 contributors, but one person holds 86.5% of all codebase knowledge, with 93 critical modules having zero backup.
Full breakdown here: https://dev.to/talhakhalidmtk/we...
It works with one git log call - no API keys, no source code access, no config. Just point it at a repo.
Would love feedback on the scoring model and what output formats would be most useful for your team.
