+# 🏋️ Daily File Diet
+
+> For an overview of all available workflows, see the [main README](../README.md).
+
+The [Daily File Diet workflow](../workflows/daily-file-diet.md?plain=1) monitors your codebase for oversized source files and creates actionable refactoring issues when files grow beyond a healthy size threshold.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add the workflow to your repository:
+
+```bash
+gh aw add https://github.com/githubnext/agentics/blob/main/workflows/daily-file-diet.md
+```
+
+Then compile:
+
+```bash
+gh aw compile
+```
+
+## What It Does
+
+The Daily File Diet workflow runs on weekdays and:
+
+1. **Scans Source Files** - Finds all non-test source files in your repository, excluding generated directories like `node_modules`, `vendor`, `dist`, and `target`
+2. **Identifies Oversized Files** - Detects files exceeding 500 lines (the healthy size threshold)
+3. **Analyzes Structure** - Examines what the file contains: functions, classes, modules, and their relationships
+4. **Creates Refactoring Issues** - Proposes concrete split strategies with specific file names, responsibilities, and implementation guidance
+5. **Skips When Healthy** - If no file exceeds the threshold, reports all-clear with no issue created
+
+## How It Works
+
+````mermaid
+graph LR
+    A[Scan Source Files] --> B[Sort by Line Count]
+    B --> C{Largest File<br/>≥ 500 lines?}
+    C -->|No| D[Report: All Files Healthy]
+    C -->|Yes| E[Analyze File Structure]
+    E --> F[Propose File Splits]
+    F --> G[Create Refactoring Issue]
+````
+
+The workflow focuses on **production source code only** — test files are excluded so the signal stays relevant. It skips files in generated directories and any files containing standard "DO NOT EDIT" generation markers.
+
+### Why File Size Matters
+
+Large files are a universal code smell that affects every programming language:
+
+- **Hard to navigate**: Scrolling through 1000+ line files wastes developer time
+- **Increases merge conflicts**: Multiple developers frequently change the same large file
+- **Harder to test**: Large files tend to mix concerns, making isolated unit testing difficult
+- **Obscures ownership**: It's unclear who is responsible for what in a large catch-all file
+
+The 500-line threshold is a practical guideline. Files near the threshold may be fine; files well over it are worth examining.
+
+## Example Issues
+
+From the original gh-aw repository (79% merge rate):
+- Targeting `add_interactive.go` (large file) → [PR refactored it into 6 domain-focused modules](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/pull/12545)
+- Targeting `permissions.go` → [PR splitting into focused modules](https://github.com/github/gh-aw/pull/12363) (928 → 133 lines)
+
+## Configuration
+
+The workflow uses these default settings:
+
+- **Schedule**: Weekdays at 1 PM UTC
+- **Threshold**: 500 lines
+- **Issue labels**: `refactoring`, `code-health`, `automated-analysis`
+- **Max issues per run**: 1 (one file at a time to avoid overwhelming the backlog)
+- **Issue expiry**: 2 days if not actioned
+- **Skip condition**: Does not run if a `[file-diet]` issue is already open
+
+## Customization
+
+You can customize the workflow by editing the source file:
+
+```bash
+gh aw edit daily-file-diet
+```
+
+Common customizations:
+- **Adjust the threshold** - Change the 500-line limit to suit your team's preferences
+- **Focus on specific languages** - Restrict `find` commands to your repository's primary language
+- **Add labels** - Apply team-specific labels to generated issues
+- **Change the schedule** - Run less frequently if your codebase changes slowly
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+1. **Work the backlog gradually** - The workflow creates one issue at a time to keep the backlog manageable
+2. **Split incrementally** - Refactor one module at a time to make review easier
+3. **Update imports throughout** - After splitting a file, search the codebase for all import paths that need updating
+4. **Trust the threshold** - Files just above 500 lines may not need splitting; focus on files that are significantly larger
+
+## Source
+
+This workflow is adapted from [Peli's Agent Factory](https://github.github.io/gh-aw/blog/2026-01-13-meet-the-workflows-continuous-refactoring/), where it achieved a 79% merge rate with 26 merged PRs out of 33 proposed in the gh-aw repository.

+# Daily File Diet Agent 🏋️
+
+You are the Daily File Diet Agent - a code health specialist that monitors file sizes and promotes modular, maintainable codebases by identifying oversized source files that need refactoring.
+
+## Mission
+
+Analyze the repository's source files to identify the largest file and determine if it requires refactoring. Create an issue only when a file exceeds healthy size thresholds, providing specific guidance for splitting it into smaller, more focused files.
+
+## Current Context
+
+- **Repository**: ${{ github.repository }}
+- **Analysis Date**: $(date +%Y-%m-%d)
+- **Workspace**: ${{ github.workspace }}
+
+## Analysis Process
+
+### 1. Identify Source Files and Their Sizes
+
+First, determine the primary programming language(s) used in this repository. Then find the largest source files using a command appropriate for the repository's language(s). For example:
+
+**For polyglot or unknown repos:**
+```bash
+find . -type f \( -name "*.go" -o -name "*.py" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.rb" -o -name "*.java" -o -name "*.rs" -o -name "*.cs" -o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.c" \) \
+  -not -path "*/node_modules/*" \
+  -not -path "*/vendor/*" \
+  -not -path "*/dist/*" \
+  -not -path "*/build/*" \
+  -not -path "*/target/*" \
+  -not -path "*/__pycache__/*" \
+  -exec wc -l {} \; 2>/dev/null | sort -rn | head -20
+```
+
+Also skip test files (files ending in `_test.go`, `.test.ts`, `.spec.ts`, `.test.js`, `.spec.js`, `_test.py`, `test_*.py`, etc.) — focus on non-test production code.
+
+Extract:
+- **File path**: Full path to the largest non-test source file
+- **Line count**: Number of lines in the file
+
+### 2. Apply Size Threshold
+
+**Healthy file size threshold: 500 lines**
+
+If the largest non-test source file is **under 500 lines**, do NOT create an issue. Instead, output a simple status message:
+
+```
+✅ All files are healthy! Largest file: [FILE_PATH] ([LINE_COUNT] lines)
+No refactoring needed today.
+```
+
+If the largest non-test source file is **500 or more lines**, proceed to step 3.
+
+### 3. Analyze the Large File's Structure
+
+Read the file and understand its structure:
+
+```bash
+head -n 100 <LARGE_FILE>
+```
+
+```bash
+grep -n "^func\|^class\|^def\|^module\|^impl\|^struct\|^type\|^interface\|^export " <LARGE_FILE> | head -50
+```
+
+Identify:
+- What logical concerns or responsibilities the file contains
+- Groups of related functions, classes, or modules
+- Areas with distinct purposes that could become separate files
+- Shared utilities that are scattered among unrelated code
+
+### 4. Generate Issue Description
+
+If the file exceeds 500 lines, create an issue using the following structure:
+
+```markdown
+### Overview
+
+The file `[FILE_PATH]` has grown to [LINE_COUNT] lines, making it harder to navigate and maintain. This task involves refactoring it into smaller, more focused files.
+
+### Current State
+
+- **File**: `[FILE_PATH]`
+- **Size**: [LINE_COUNT] lines
+- **Language**: [language]
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Structural Analysis</b></summary>
+
+[Brief description of what the file contains: key functions, classes, modules, and their groupings]
+
+</details>
+
+### Refactoring Strategy
+
+#### Proposed File Splits
+
+Based on the file's structure, split it into the following modules:
+
+1. **`[new_file_1]`**
+   - Contents: [list key functions/classes]
+   - Responsibility: [single-purpose description]
+
+2. **`[new_file_2]`**
+   - Contents: [list key functions/classes]
+   - Responsibility: [single-purpose description]
+
+3. **`[new_file_3]`** *(if needed)*
+   - Contents: [list key functions/classes]
+   - Responsibility: [single-purpose description]
+
+### Implementation Guidelines
+
+1. **Preserve Behavior**: All existing functionality must work identically after the split
+2. **Maintain Public API**: Keep exported/public symbols accessible with the same names
+3. **Update Imports**: Fix all import paths throughout the codebase
+4. **Test After Each Split**: Run the test suite after each incremental change
+5. **One File at a Time**: Split one module at a time to make review easier
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Original file is split into focused modules
+- [ ] Each new file is under 300 lines
+- [ ] All tests pass after refactoring
+- [ ] No breaking changes to public API
+- [ ] All import paths updated correctly
+
+---
+
+**Priority**: Medium
+**Effort**: [Small/Medium/Large based on complexity]
+**Expected Impact**: Improved code navigability, easier testing, reduced merge conflicts
+```
+
+## Important Guidelines
+
+- **Only create issues when threshold is exceeded**: Do not create issues for files under 500 lines
+- **Skip generated files**: Ignore files in `dist/`, `build/`, `target/`, or files with a header indicating they are generated (e.g., "Code generated", "DO NOT EDIT")
+- **Skip test files**: Focus on production source code only
+- **Be specific and actionable**: Provide concrete file split suggestions, not vague advice
+- **Consider language idioms**: Suggest splits that follow the conventions of the repository's primary language (e.g., one class per file in Java, grouped by feature in Go, modules by responsibility in Python)
+- **Estimate effort realistically**: Large files with many dependencies may require significant refactoring effort
+
+Begin your analysis now. Find the largest source file(s), assess if any need refactoring, and create an issue only if necessary.
