System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

The NIH audit helps teams quickly identify hand-rolled utilities and DIY implementations that duplicate functionality available in mature open-source libraries, reducing maintenance burden and risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect hand-rolled utilities, retry logic, date handling, parsing, or formatting that duplicates library functionality.
  • Score and recommend libraries to adopt, considering licensing, activity, and compatibility with the repo's language.
  • Use cases: when consolidating utility code, evaluating a monorepo, or planning a build-vs-buy decision.

Quick Start

Run an NIH audit on the current repo to surface hand-rolled utilities and recommended libraries.
