SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audit codebases for consistency in naming, structure, and patterns to help teams standardize projects and accelerate onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Coherency Audit Framework: standardizes naming conventions, file organization, and architectural patterns across a repository.
  • Prioritized Recommendations: surfaces high-impact deviations and actionable remediation steps for teams.
  • Onboarding & Refactoring Support: guides new contributors to align with existing conventions before major changes.

Quick Start

Run a coherency audit across the current repository to surface naming and structure inconsistencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a codebase for inconsistent naming and structure?

Codebase audits enforce consistent naming, file organization, and architectural patterns by analyzing existing conventions and imports to surface deviations. This process identifies structural inconsistencies and provides actionable remediation steps for standardization.

What is a coherency audit and when do I need to run one?

A coherency audit standardizes naming conventions, file organization, and architectural patterns across a repository. Run one during onboarding to unfamiliar repositories, before major refactors, or during code reviews to identify convention deviations and inform standardization decisions.

How do I standardize file organization and patterns across a repository?

Standardize repository patterns by analyzing existing file structures, imports, and naming conventions to detect deviations. This surfaces high-impact inconsistencies and generates prioritized, actionable remediation steps to guide teams in aligning the codebase.

Can I use a coherency audit to help onboard new contributors to a repository?

Yes, coherency audits support onboarding by guiding new contributors to align with existing conventions before making major changes. The audit analyzes repository patterns and surfaces deviations, helping new team members understand and follow established architectural standards.

What's the best way to identify architectural pattern deviations before refactoring?

The best way to identify architectural deviations before refactoring is to run a coherency audit that analyzes existing conventions and file structures. This surfaces high-impact deviations and provides actionable remediation steps to inform standardization decisions.
