Filoma Package Overview

---

## ⚡ Quick Start

`filoma` provides a unified API for filesystem analysis.

### End-to-End Example: Folder → DataFrame → Insights

This is the core Filoma workflow in one place: scan a folder, build a rich dataframe, filter it, and extract quick insights.

```python
import filoma as flm

dataset = "notebooks/Weeds-3"

# 1) Fast scan + high-level summary
analysis = flm.probe(dataset)
analysis.print_summary()

# 2) Build an enriched dataframe (paths, extension, sizes, ownership, timestamps, etc.)
df = flm.probe_to_df(dataset, enrich=True)

# 3) Narrow to image files and inspect distribution
images = df.filter_by_extension(["jpg", "png"])
print(images.extension_counts())
print(images.directory_counts().head(3))

# 4) Get the largest files quickly
largest = images.sort("size_bytes", descending=True).head(5)
print(largest.select(["path", "size_bytes"]))
```

This flow is typically the fastest way to move from raw folder structure to actionable dataset insight.

### 1. File & Image Profiling

Extract rich metadata and statistics from any file or image.

```python
import filoma as flm

# Profile any file
info = flm.probe_file("README.md")
print(info)
```

📄 See Metadata Output

```text
Filo(
path=PosixPath('README.md'),
size=12237,
mode_str='-rw-rw-r--',
owner='user',
modified=datetime.datetime(2025, 12, 30, 22, 45, 53),
is_file=True,
...
)
```

For images, `probe_image` automatically extracts shapes, types, and pixel statistics.

### 2. Directory Analysis

Scan entire directory trees in milliseconds. `filoma` automatically picks the fastest available backend (Rust → `fd` → Python).

```python
# Analyze a directory
analysis = flm.probe('.')

# Print high-level summary
analysis.print_summary()
```

### 3. DataFrame Analysis

Convert scan results to Polars DataFrames for advanced analysis.

```python
# Scan and get an enriched filoma.DataFrame (Polars)
df = flm.probe_to_df('src', enrich=True)

# Perform operations
df.filter_by_extension([".py", ".rs"])
df.directory_counts()
```

📊 See Enriched DataFrame Output

```text

┌───────────────────┬───────┬────────┬───────────────┬───┬─────────┬───────┬────────┬────────┐
│ path ┆ depth ┆ parent ┆ name ┆ … ┆ inode ┆ nlink ┆ sha256 ┆ xattrs │
│ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- │

✨ Enriched columns added: parent, name, stem, suffix, size_bytes, modified_time,
created_time, is_file, is_dir, owner, group, mode_str, inode, nlink, sha256, xattrs, depth
```

- **Seamless Pandas Integration**: Just use `df.pandas` for instant conversion.
- **Lazy Loading**: `import filoma` is cheap; heavy dependencies load only when needed.

### 4. Specialized DataFrame Operations

Filoma's `DataFrame` extends Polars with filesystem-specific operations for quick filtering and summarization.

```python
# Filter by extensions
df.filter_by_extension([".py", ".rs"])

# Quick frequency analysis
df.extension_counts()
df.directory_counts()
```

🔍 See Operation Examples

**`filter_by_extension([".py", ".rs"])`**

```text
shape: (3, 1)
┌─────────────────────┐
│ path │
│ --- │
│ str │
╞═════════════════════╡
│ src/async_scan.rs │
│ src/lib.rs │
│ src/filoma/dedup.py │
└─────────────────────┘
```

**`extension_counts()`** — groups files by extension and returns counts.

```text
shape: (3, 2)
┌────────────┬─────┐
│ extension ┆ len │
│ --- ┆ --- │
│ str ┆ u32 │
╞════════════╪═════╡
│ .py ┆ 240 │
│ .jpg ┆ 124 │
│ .json ┆ 43 │
└────────────┴─────┘
```

**`directory_counts()`** — summarizes file distribution across parent directories.

```text
shape: (3, 2)
┌────────────┬─────┐
│ parent_dir ┆ len │
│ --- ┆ --- │
│ str ┆ u32 │
╞════════════╪═════╡
│ src/filoma ┆ 12 │
│ tests ┆ 8 │
│ docs ┆ 5 │
└────────────┴─────┘
```

## 🗂️ Advanced Topics

### Dataset Convenience Class
Use the `Dataset` class for orchestration of snapshotting, profiling, integrity checks, and AI interactions:

```python
import filoma as flm

ds = flm.Dataset("./my_data")

# Snapshot, Quality Scan, and Deduplication
ds.snap(mode="deep")
ds.run_quality_scan()
ds.dedup()

# Get an enriched DataFrame of the dataset
df = ds.to_dataframe()
print(df.extension_counts())

# Agentic interaction with this specific dataset
ds.get_brain().run("Is there any class imbalance in my dataset?")
```

### Dataset Integrity & Quality
Filoma provides a comprehensive suite for dataset validation (corruption, leaks, balance) and manifest integrity:

```python
from filoma.core.verifier import DatasetVerifier
verifier = DatasetVerifier("./data")
verifier.run_all()
verifier.print_summary()
```

### Deduplication
Find duplicate files, images (perceptual hash), or text files.

```bash
# Standard find
filoma dedup /path/to/dataset

# Cross-directory find
filoma dedup train/ valid/ --cross-dir
```

### Agentic Analysis
Connect a "brain" to your filesystem for natural language interaction:

```python
from filoma.brain import get_agent

agent = get_agent()
await agent.run("Create a dataframe from notebooks/Weeds-3 with enrichment")
await agent.run("Filter by extension: jpg, png")
await agent.run("Summarize dataframe and show top directories")
await agent.run("Sort dataframe by size descending and show top 5")
```

Or use the interactive chat CLI:

```bash
filoma brain chat
# Then ask:
# - create a dataframe from notebooks/Weeds-3
# - filter by extension jpg,png
# - summarize dataframe
# - export dataframe to weeds_images.csv
```

#### Advanced Workflow Orchestration
Filoma Brain now includes advanced orchestrator tools for enterprise-grade dataset analysis:

```bash
# Run advanced workflow examples
make brain-advanced

# Or in code:
await agent.run("Run a corrupted file audit on /path/to/dataset")
await agent.run("Generate a dataset hygiene report for /path/to/dataset")
await agent.run("Assess the migration readiness of /path/to/dataset")
```

These tools provide structured, deterministic reports with detailed findings, recommendations, and confidence scores.

### Interactive CLI
```bash
filoma brain chat
```
