SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Code principle violations such as DRY, KISS, and YAGNI, plus design-pattern issues, are common in growing codebases. This Skill identifies these issues, aggregates them with severity, location, and effort, and returns actionable recommendations to guide refactoring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect DRY violations across files and modules and suggest consolidation points.
  • Flag premature abstractions and over-generalization (KISS/YAGNI considerations) with context.
  • Produce structured findings including pattern_signature, recommendations, and a domain-aware score for integration in CI or manual reviews.

Quick Start

Run the auditor on a target repository to generate a comprehensive Code Principles Findings report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect DRY violations across multiple files and modules in my codebase?▼

To detect DRY violations across files and modules, you audit code principles to surface cross-file duplications. The scanner analyzes multi-language projects, identifying consolidation points and returning actionable findings with severity, location, and estimated refactoring effort.

What is the best way to find KISS and YAGNI violations during a code audit?▼

Finding KISS and YAGNI violations involves flagging premature abstractions and over-generalization with context. The auditor scans your codebase to identify design-pattern inconsistencies, providing structured recommendations to simplify overly complex implementations.

Can I integrate static analysis for code principles into my CI pipeline?▼

You can integrate static analysis for code principles into CI pipelines by running the auditor on your target repository. It generates a comprehensive findings report with a domain-aware score, structured locations, and pattern signatures suitable for automated review checks.

Does the code principles auditor work on multi-language projects?▼

The code principles auditor works on multi-language projects by applying language-specific detection patterns. It scans modules, services, and adapters to surface cross-module violations, ensuring comprehensive DRY and design-pattern analysis across diverse codebases.

What is included in the refactoring report when auditing design patterns?▼

A refactoring report from auditing design patterns includes actionable findings with severity, location, effort, and pattern signatures. It provides a domain-aware score and specific recommendations to guide refactoring efforts for identified code principle violations.
