SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill finds principle violations in a codebase and turns them into a structured report, so teams can spot drift early without manual review of every file.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repository-wide scanning: Checks local files against defined principles and groups findings by security, dead code, TODO debt, architecture, and documentation gaps.
  • Trend tracking: Can summarize historical scan results to show whether violations are improving or worsening over time.
  • Reporting workflow: Generates an entropy report and appends a quality log entry after a full scan for later comparison and auditing.

Quick Start

Run the entropy-scan skill on the current repository to detect principle violations and write a structured report.

Frequently Asked Questions about entropy-scan

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect codebase drift and principle violations across my repository?▼

You can detect codebase drift by scanning local files against defined principles to identify security issues, dead code, TODO debt, architecture flaws, and documentation gaps, producing a structured entropy report.

What is an entropy scan and how does it work for a codebase audit?▼

An entropy scan inspects local repository files for principle violations across categories like security and architecture, grouping findings into a structured report to help teams spot maintenance drift early.

Can I track whether codebase violations are improving or worsening over time?▼

Yes, you can track violation trends over time. The scan appends a quality log entry after a full run, allowing you to summarize historical results and compare whether violations are improving or worsening.

What categories of codebase issues does a repository-wide scan cover?▼

A repository-wide scan covers principle violations grouped into five categories: security, dead code, TODO debt, architecture, and documentation gaps, ensuring comprehensive maintenance auditing.

Do I need any external dependencies to run a codebase audit for principle violations?▼

No external dependencies are required. The scan relies on local file inspection of skill-defined rules to evaluate the codebase and generate the entropy report without needing additional packages.
