  • Recommend or enforce tooling and CI hooks
  • Improve developer onboarding and contributor experience
  • Use case: cleanup onboarding projects by pruning unused scripts and aligning README sections.

Quick Start

Run the repo hygiene workflow from the project root to audit structure, scripts, docs, and CI hooks. Then apply changes to prune unused scripts, fill in missing README sections, and align tooling configs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize repository structure and documentation for better onboarding?

Standardize repository structure and documentation by running an audit workflow from the project root to evaluate layout, scripts, docs, and CI hooks. It identifies missing README sections and prunes unused scripts to improve developer onboarding and contributor experience.

What is the best way to clean up CI configuration and repository hygiene?

Clean up CI configuration and repository hygiene by auditing tooling configs and hardening CI hooks directly from the project root. The workflow recommends or enforces config changes to align tooling and ensure a consistent contributor experience across codebases.

Can I audit and prune unused scripts in my codebase without external services?

Yes, you can audit and prune unused scripts without external services by running the repository hygiene workflow locally. It evaluates your scripts and repository layout, then suggests or applies changes to prune unused scripts and align documentation.

How do I fill in missing README sections and align tooling configs for new contributors?

Fill in missing README sections and align tooling configs by running the repository hygiene workflow from the project root. It audits your documentation structure and tooling configurations, then applies changes to ensure consistent developer ergonomics and onboarding.

Does improving repository hygiene require any external dependencies or setup?

Improving repository hygiene requires no external dependencies or services. The workflow runs directly from the project root to audit structure, scripts, docs, and CI hooks, then suggests or enforces changes to standardize the repository layout and contributor experience.

When should I not use an automated repo cleanup workflow?

You should not use an automated repo cleanup workflow when your codebase lacks established CI hooks or standardized documentation practices to evaluate. The workflow targets onboarding and hardening scenarios, so repositories without existing tooling configs may yield limited actionable cleanup suggestions.
