FAQPage Schema

How do I perform a static analysis to identify technical debt and security risks?▼

To perform a static analysis, you invoke the skill within your environment to scan source code, build files, and configuration artifacts. It generates a prioritized report featuring precise file:line evidence and actionable remediation steps.

What is included in a comprehensive codebase architectural review?▼

A comprehensive architectural review covers security, code health, dependencies, and structural flaws. It highlights critical issues, dead code, and compliance gaps to ensure maintainability and facilitate proactive maintenance.

Can I use a codebase audit for onboarding new team members to code standards?▼

Yes, you can use a codebase audit for onboarding new team members. It assesses code health and architecture, generating an organized report that helps developers quickly understand existing standards and technical debt.

Does static analysis work on build files and configuration artifacts?▼

Static analysis requires comprehensive source analysis, which includes scanning build files, source code, and configuration artifacts. This ensures accurate detection of vulnerabilities, code quality issues, and architectural flaws.

What is the best way to prepare for a security audit and compliance check?▼

The best way to prepare for a security audit is to run a comprehensive repository review. This identifies vulnerabilities and compliance gaps across multiple domains, providing prioritized reporting with actionable remediation steps.

When should I not use an automated codebase audit for refactoring projects?▼

You should not rely solely on an automated codebase audit when manual runtime behavior analysis is required. While it detects static and architectural flaws with file:line evidence, dynamic testing remains necessary for execution path issues.
