SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of sensors, which are automated checks, at the canonical path, reducing the manual setup process for these checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Sensor Creation: Generates a new sensor at the correct path with the necessary configurations.
  • Kind Selection: Allows selection between computational and inferential sensor types.
  • Use Case: When you need to add a new automated check for your codebase, such as a unit-test runner or a security review, this Skill can create the sensor for you.

Quick Start

Run the command 'keystone new sensor <name> [--kind <kind>]' to create a new sensor.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate sensor creation for automated checks in my codebase?

Automated sensor creation is handled by generating a new sensor at the canonical path with the necessary configurations, reducing manual setup. You can run the command 'keystone new sensor <name> [--kind <kind>]' to quickly add the automated check.

What is the difference between computational and inferential sensor types?

Computational and inferential sensor types represent the two kinds of automated checks you can select when creating a sensor. You specify the desired kind using the --kind flag to determine the logic type for your repository-level charter engineering.

How do I add a new automated check like a unit-test runner to a charter system?

Adding a new automated check requires running the 'keystone new sensor <name>' command. This generates the sensor at the correct path within the charter system, streamlining the setup for checks like unit-test runners or security reviews.

Do I need any dependencies to set up automated checks for charter engineering?

No dependencies are required to set up automated checks for charter engineering. The sensor creation process operates independently using its internal scripts to generate the necessary configurations at the canonical path.

Can I use this to generate sensors for repository-level code quality checks?

Yes, you can generate sensors for repository-level code quality checks. The tool is specifically intended for charter engineering, allowing you to automate the setup of various development checks directly within your repository structure.

What is the best way to streamline the setup of multiple automated checks?

The best way to streamline the setup of automated checks is to use a command-line generation tool. Running 'keystone new sensor <name>' for each check automates the configuration file creation, eliminating repetitive manual path setup.
