codescene-health-rules

You customize CodeScene code health rules by generating or updating the .codescene/code-health-rules.json configuration file at your repository root. This file allows you to set repo-wide overrides, adjust rule weights, and define health scoring thresholds.

The code-health-rules.json file is used to steer how CodeScene calculates code health scores. It enables teams to apply repo-wide overrides, configure language-specific tweaks, and manage in-source @codescene directives to fine-tune detected smells.

Yes, you can apply per-subdirectory rules and thresholds by configuring the .codescene/code-health-rules.json file. This allows targeted overrides so different parts of your repository can have customized health scoring criteria.

To reduce noise during audits while preserving critical warnings, you selectively disable or down-weight specific rules by adjusting their weights and thresholds within the .codescene/code-health-rules.json configuration file.

Yes, CodeScene supports in-source @codescene directives that allow you to fine-tune and suppress specific code smells directly within your source files, working alongside the centralized .codescene/code-health-rules.json overrides.

The configuration requires placing overrides strictly in the .codescene/code-health-rules.json file at the repository root. It operates within the bounds of the provided schema for setting rule weights and thresholds, meaning schema limitations apply to custom scoring.
