SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configure project standards by analyzing a codebase and generating governance configuration that CodeGuard uses for enforcement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scans the repository to detect technology stack and architectural patterns.
  • Generates codeguard.yaml, CODEGUARD.md, Pest architecture tests, and a git pre-commit hook.
  • Supports update mode when an existing codeguard.yaml is present to drift-detect and refresh configurations.

Quick Start

Run the skill on a PHP project to generate codeguard.yaml and CODEGUARD.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project governance setup for a PHP repository?▼

Automating project governance setup involves scanning a PHP codebase to detect its technology stack and architectural patterns, then generating codeguard.yaml, CODEGUARD.md, and Pest architecture tests to enforce standards.

What files do I need to configure CodeGuard enforcement in my codebase?▼

Configuring CodeGuard enforcement requires generating a codeguard.yaml file for settings, CODEGUARD.md for documentation, Pest arch tests for validation, and a git pre-commit hook to block non-compliant commits.

Do I need Git and npx to set up CodeGuard for my PHP project?▼

Yes, setting up CodeGuard requires your PHP project to be a Git repository and that npx @henryavila/codeguard install has been run to populate the .codeguard directory and hook runner.

Can I update an existing codeguard.yaml configuration to detect drift?▼

Yes, CodeGuard supports an update mode when an existing codeguard.yaml is present, allowing it to drift-detect changes in your codebase and refresh the governance configurations accordingly.

How does CodeGuard detect architectural patterns in a PHP codebase?▼

CodeGuard detects architectural patterns by analyzing the PHP repository's current state, scanning the existing code structure and technology stack to translate them into a governance configuration that can be enforced.
