Sloc Cloc and Code (scc)
scc powers searchcode.com — structured code intelligence over any repo, built for AI agents.
A tool similar to cloc, sloccount and tokei. For counting the lines of code, blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages.
Goal is to be the fastest code counter possible, but also perform COCOMO calculation like sloccount, LOCOMO estimation for LLM-based development costs, estimate code complexity similar to cyclomatic complexity calculators and produce unique lines of code or DRYness metrics. In short one tool to rule them all.
Also it has a very short name which is easy to type scc.
If you don't like sloc cloc and code feel free to use the name Succinct Code Counter.

scc for Teams & Enterprise
While scc will always be a free and open tool for individual developers, companies and businesses, we are exploring an enhanced version designed for teams and businesses. scc Enterprise will build on the core scc engine to provide historical analysis, team-level dashboards, and policy enforcement to help engineering leaders track code health, manage technical debt, and forecast project costs.
We are currently gathering interest for a private beta. If you want to visualize your codebase's evolution, integrate quality gates into your CI/CD pipeline, and get a big-picture view across all your projects,
