SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Run quick sanity checks to surface obvious issues in a codebase without making any changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lightweight validation to surface common problems early (e.g., empty handlers, missing tests, stale dependencies).
  • Build and test orchestration: run build and tests when a build script exists to verify basic integrity.
  • Status reporting: provide a concise pass/fail summary of the repository state.

Quick Start

Run the quick-check command in your project root to perform fast sanity checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run sanity checks on my codebase before a git commit?

To run sanity checks before a commit, execute a quick validation command in your project root to surface obvious issues like empty handlers, failing builds, and missing tests across your repository.

What is the best way to automatically validate builds and tests in a Node.js project?

The best way to validate builds and tests is to run an automated check that detects your package.json, executes the build and test scripts, and provides a concise pass/fail summary of the repository state.

Can I check my git status and codebase integrity without making any file changes?

Yes, you can check git status and codebase integrity without making changes by running a read-only sanity check that reports empty handlers, build results, and repository status without modifying files.

Does a pre-merge sanity check work without external dependencies?

Yes, a pre-merge sanity check works without external dependencies because it natively detects project setups like package.json to run builds, execute tests, and display git status.

What common problems does a codebase sanity check catch during development?

A codebase sanity check catches common development problems like empty handlers, stale dependencies, failing builds, and missing tests to surface 80% of obvious issues early.

When do I need to run a quick validation check on my repository?

You need to run a quick validation check during development, before commits, or pre-merge to verify basic integrity, confirm builds pass, and ensure tests run successfully across common project setups.
