SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Codebase quality varies across languages and projects; this Skill provides a language-agnostic audit that aggregates structural, readability, reliability, and velocity signals into a unified report, enabling teams to identify high-risk areas and prioritize improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Language-agnostic assessment across up to 12 quality criteria plus development velocity
  • Benchmarking against industry standards with citations and actionable recommendations
  • Per-language metrics, heat maps, and a comprehensive written analysis for stakeholders

Quick Start

Run /codebase-audit to generate a comprehensive audit report for your codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a static analysis audit across a polyglot codebase?

Run a static analysis audit on polyglot codebases by executing the audit command, which performs read-only analysis across multiple languages and aggregates up to 12 quality criteria into a single graded report.

Can I benchmark codebase quality metrics against industry standards?

Yes, you can benchmark codebase quality metrics against industry standards. The audit compares your structural, readability, and reliability signals against benchmarks and provides cited sources within the generated report.

What is included in a multi-phase codebase quality report?

A multi-phase codebase quality report includes per-language metrics, a risk heat map, development velocity insights, a full analysis narrative, and actionable recommendations, outputting both JSON and Markdown files.

Does the codebase audit support monorepos with multiple programming languages?

Yes, the codebase audit supports monorepos and polyglot projects. It performs language-agnostic static analysis to aggregate structural and velocity signals across different languages into a unified report.

How do I identify high-risk areas in my codebase using static analysis?

Identify high-risk areas by running the multi-phase audit, which generates a risk heat map and comprehensive written analysis highlighting structural, reliability, and readability issues for stakeholders to prioritize.

What are the limitations of read-only static analysis for codebase audits?

Read-only static analysis limitations include evaluating code structure and metrics without executing runtime tests or dynamic profiling, meaning it assesses reliability signals but does not capture live performance or behavioral defects.
