FAQPage Schema
How do I assess codebase health and tooling drift in a dormant project?▼

To assess codebase health, you evaluate the project's lifecycle stage and identify tooling drift from current conventions. This generates a prioritized re-entry plan to reactivate the dormant codebase.

What is the best way to create a re-entry plan for an inactive codebase?▼

The best way to create a re-entry plan is to analyze the repository, identify tooling drift, and generate a prioritized list of issues. This plan guides the reactivation of an inactive codebase.

Can I track the project assessment results as an issue for future reference?▼

Yes, you can optionally capture the generated re-entry plan as a tracking issue. This ensures the project assessment results and prioritized recovery steps are documented for future reference.

Does this project assessment tool require access to the repository?▼

Yes, the project assessment requires access to the project's repository and the current conventions stored under the .claude directory. This access is needed to accurately evaluate tooling drift.

How do I identify what is stale or broken in a dormant project?▼

You identify what is stale or broken by running an evaluation of the dormant project. This checks for tooling drift, lifecycle stage issues, and generates a prioritized re-entry plan.
