FAQPage Schema

How do I audit a tool repository for layout and versioning standard compliance?▼

To audit a tool repository for standard compliance, use the audit feature to validate repository layout, versioning, and container-level guidelines against a predefined standard. It checks your tool repository to ensure it adheres to the required structure and format.

What is the best way to scaffold a new tool repository with the correct structure?▼

The best way to scaffold a new tool repository is to run `ki-tools init <repo-name>`. This generates a new tool repository initialized with the correct structure, layout, and default configuration files based on a predefined template.

Can I automatically conform an existing tool repository to meet repository standards?▼

Yes, you can automatically conform an existing tool repository to meet standards. The conform feature automatically applies fixes to repositories, such as setting executable bits on scripts or adding missing files to achieve standard compliance.

Do I need ki-repo and ki-engineering to use the repository audit and scaffold features?▼

Yes, you need ki-repo, ki-engineering, and ki-homebrew-tap installed. These dependencies are required for full functionality when auditing, conforming, or scaffolding tool repositories within the Knowledge Islands framework.

Why does my tool repository fail the layout and versioning compliance check?▼

Your tool repository fails the compliance check when its layout or versioning does not match the predefined standard. Running an audit identifies these specific structural inconsistencies, and the conform feature can apply fixes like adding missing files.
