DLC: Code Quality Check
Run code quality analysis against the current project and create a GitHub issue with findings.
Before running, read [../dlc/references/ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md](../dlc/references/ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md) now for the issue format, and read [../dlc/references/REPORT-FORMAT.md](../dlc/references/REPORT-FORMAT.md) now for the findings data structure.
Step 1: Detect Linting Config
Scan for linting configuration and project type:
| Config File | Linter | Language | |-------------|--------|----------| | .eslintrc* / eslint.config.* / biome.json | ESLint / Biome | JS/TS | | ruff.toml / pyproject.toml (with [tool.ruff]) | Ruff | Python | | .golangci.yml / .golangci.yaml | golangci-lint | Go | | clippy.toml / Cargo.toml | Clippy | Rust | | .rubocop.yml | RuboCop | Ruby |
Also check for formatter configs: .prettierrc*, .editorconfig, rustfmt.toml.
Step 2: Run Quality Tools
Linting
Run the detected linter with JSON/machine-readable output:
Select the tool based on availability (command -v), not exit codes — linters exit non-zero when issues are found, which is a valid result to capture.
# JS/TS — select by availability
if command -v eslint >/dev/null 2>&1; then
eslint . --format=json 2>/dev/null
elif command -v biome >/dev/null 2>&1; then
biome check . --reporter=json 2>/dev/null
fi
# Python — prefer Ruff, fall back to flake8
if command -v ruff >/dev/null 2>&1; then
ruff check . --output-format=json 2>/dev/null
elif command -v flake8 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
flake8 . --format=json 2>/dev/null
fi
# Go
command -v golangci-lint >/dev/null 2>&1 && golangci-lint run --out-format=json 2>/dev/null
# Rust
command -v cargo-clippy >/dev/null 2>&1 && cargo clippy --message-format=json 2>/dev/null
Complexity Analysis
# JS/TS — eslint complexity rule or cr tool
eslint . --rule '{"complexity": ["warn", 10]}' --format=json 2>/dev/null
# Python
radon cc . --json --min=C 2>/dev/null
# General — if no tool available, use Claude analysis
# Look for functions > 50 lines, cyclomatic complexity > 10, deep nesting > 4 levels
Duplication Detection
# JS/TS
jscpd . --reporters=json 2>/dev/null
# General
# If no tool available, Claude analysis: search for repeated code blocks > 10 lines
Dead Code Detection
# JS/TS — select by availability
if command -v knip >/dev/null 2>&1; then
knip --reporter=json 2>/dev/null
elif command -v ts-prune >/dev/null 2>&1; then
ts-prune 2>/dev/null
fi
# Python
command -v vulture >/dev/null 2>&1 && vulture . 2>/dev/null
If no dedicated quality tools are available, use the Explore agent to discover code quality hotspots across the codebase. Use repomix-explorer (if available) for large codebases to get a structural overview. Then use targeted Grep and Read for detailed analysis:
- Review for unused imports, exports, and functions
- Check for unreachable code paths
- Identify overly complex functions (nesting depth, parameter count)
Step 3: Classify Findings
Map tool output to the findings format from REPORT-FORMAT.md.
Severity mapping (reinforced here for defense-in-depth):
| Finding Type | Severity | |-------------|----------| | Error-level lint violation | High | | Cyclomatic complexity > 20 | High | | Warning-level lint violation | Medium | | Cyclomatic complexity 10-20 | Medium | | Duplication > 50 lines | Medium | | Dead code / unused exports | Low | | Style/formatting issues | Info |
Step 4: Create GitHub Issue
Read [../dlc/references/ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md](../dlc/references/ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md) now and format the issue body exactly as specified.
Critical format rules (reinforced here):
- Title:
[DLC] Quality: {summary of top finding} - Label:
dlc-quality - Body must contain: Scan Metadata table, Findings Summary table (severity x count), Findings Detail grouped by severity, Recommended Actions, Raw Output in collapsed details
Acquire BRANCH for the Scan Metadata table above — ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md's lifecycle acquires REPO itself. Then follow ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md's Issue Creation Command lifecycle exactly — substitute {skill-name} = quality, {Type} = Quality, {type} = quality, {additional-required-sections} = '## Raw Output':
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
echo "BRANCH=$BRANCH" # ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md's Write step is a separate tool call and can't see this shell's variables
Step 5: Report
Quality check complete.
- Linter: {detected linter}
- Tools used: {list}
- Findings: {high} high, {medium} medium, {low} low
- Issue: #{number} ({url})
If no findings, skip issue creation and report: "No quality issues found."
