ai-standardize-repo

name	ai-standardize-repo
description	Audit and fix repository standards (pipeline, rulesets, pre-commit, renovate, release, dotfiles) against universal quality gates.
argument-hint	[--validate|--fix] [github|pipeline|quality|security|tests|licenses|renovate|release|dotfiles]

Audit and fix repository standards: $ARGUMENTS

Unified standardization skill. Detects project type, audits against the universal standard, and fixes drift. Uses ai-gh for GitHub-side config and directly patches local files.

Usage Examples

/ai-standardize-repo                 # Full audit, present findings, ask before fixing
/ai-standardize-repo --validate      # Audit only, no changes
/ai-standardize-repo --fix           # Audit and fix everything
/ai-standardize-repo renovate        # Audit+fix just renovate config
/ai-standardize-repo github          # Audit+fix GitHub settings via ai-gh

The Standard

Pipeline Architecture

• Qualification layer (pre-merge, universal): 4 protected checks enforced by branch rulesets
• Delivery layer (post-merge, varies by type): release/publish/deploy, test stages named by type
• Adapter layer (per language/framework): tool choices inside each gate

4 Universal Quality Gates

All repos, all languages. These are the branch ruleset status check names.

#	Gate (status check name)	Python adapter	TypeScript/React adapter
1	Code quality	ruff format+check, mypy, yaml/whitespace/eof, forbid .env, uv.lock check, uv build	biome (lint+format), tsc --noEmit, yaml/whitespace/eof, forbid .env, lockfile check, npm run build / cdk synth / sam build
2	Security scanning	semgrep (p/python, p/owasp-top-ten, p/secrets), pip-audit	semgrep (p/typescript, p/react, p/nodejs, p/owasp-top-ten, p/secrets), npm audit
3	Unit tests	pytest --cov-fail-under=80	vitest --coverage (threshold >=80%)
4	License compliance	liccheck (enforce block on GPL/AGPL, allow LGPL) + pip-licenses (reporting artifacts)	licensee (enforce block on GPL/AGPL, allow LGPL)

Build validation is inside Code quality -- "can this code produce its artifact?" is a quality concern.

2 Project Types

Type	Branch strategy	Rulesets	Post-merge delivery
library	main-only	4 checks on main	release -> publish (PyPI/npm) -> docs
service	dev + main	4 checks on dev AND main	dev: deploy staging -> integration tests -> e2e tests; main: deploy prod -> smoke tests -> release

"Service" covers IaC (SAM, CDK, Terraform), frontends (React/Vite/Next.js), APIs, and anything that deploys.

Language Adapters

• Python: uv, ruff, mypy, pytest, semgrep, pip-audit, liccheck + pip-licenses, pre-commit
• TypeScript: pnpm, biome, tsc, vitest, semgrep, npm audit, licensee

Framework (SAM/CDK/Terraform/Vite/Next.js) affects only the build step inside Code quality and the deploy step in delivery.

---

1. Context Detection

Detect project shape before auditing.

Repo type

1. Check ai-shell.toml for [project] repo_type override
2. Check remote branches: if origin/dev, origin/develop, or origin/staging exists -> service
3. Otherwise -> library

Language

• pyproject.toml exists -> python
• package.json exists -> typescript
• Both exist -> both (audit each language's requirements)

Framework (service repos only)

• template.yaml or template.yml or samconfig.toml -> SAM
• cdk.json -> CDK
• main.tf -> Terraform
• vite.config.* -> Vite
• next.config.* -> Next.js
• None detected -> plain

Display detected configuration:

Detected: type=service, language=python, framework=sam
Branch strategy: dev+main (dev branch: dev)

---

2. Audit

Check each concern against the standard. Report as PASS / DRIFT / MISSING with error (E) and warning (W) counts.

2a. GitHub settings (github section)

Prerequisite: ai-gh CLI must be available and .env must have GH_REPO, GH_ACCOUNT, GH_TOKEN. If missing, report and skip this section.

Run: ai-gh status --type <library|service> --verbose

Check:

• Auto-merge enabled
• Merge strategy: merge commits only (no squash, no rebase)
• Delete branch on merge: enabled (unless dev branch exists)
• Rulesets exist and match expected template
• Required status checks match the 4 universal gates: "Code quality", "Security scanning", "Unit tests", "License compliance"

Note: ai-gh may still use older gate names (e.g., "Pre-commit checks" instead of "Code quality"). If so, flag this as DRIFT and note that ai-gh templates need updating per augint-github issues.

2b. Pipeline (pipeline section)

Check .github/workflows/pipeline.yaml exists.

Verify it has 4 jobs with these exact name: values (these are the status check contract):

1. "Code quality"
2. "Security scanning"
3. "Unit tests"
4. "License compliance"

For each job, check language-appropriate contents:

Code quality job must include:

• Python: ruff format check, ruff lint check, mypy, yaml validation, .env blocking, uv.lock check, uv build (or framework build command)
• TypeScript: biome check, tsc --noEmit, lockfile check, npm run build (or framework build command)

Security scanning job must include:

• Python: semgrep with p/python + p/owasp-top-ten + p/secrets rulesets, pip-audit
• TypeScript: semgrep with p/typescript + p/react + p/nodejs rulesets, npm audit
• Must NOT contain bandit (superseded by semgrep)

Unit tests job must include:

• Python: pytest with --cov-fail-under=80 (or configured threshold)
• TypeScript: vitest or jest with coverage threshold >=80%

License compliance job must include:

• Python: liccheck or pip-licenses with enforcement (must have pass/fail exit code for GPL/AGPL)
• TypeScript: licensee with allowlist enforcement

Delivery jobs (post-merge, not in rulesets):

• Library: release, publish, docs jobs
• Service: integration tests, e2e/smoke tests, deploy jobs (named by test type)

2c. Pre-commit / hooks (quality section)

Python repos: Check .pre-commit-config.yaml exists and contains:

• ruff-format hook covering src/ and tests/
• ruff-check hook with --fix covering src/ and tests/
• mypy hook covering src/
• check-yaml (with SAM template exclusion if framework is SAM)
• end-of-file-fixer, trailing-whitespace
• forbid-env-commit (blocks .env files)
• uv-lock-check (validates uv.lock freshness)
• All uv run entries use --no-sync flag

TypeScript repos: Check for biome config (biome.json or biome.jsonc) and hook integration.

Use python-template.pre-commit-config.yaml in this skill's directory as reference template.

2d. Renovate (renovate section)

Check renovate.json5 exists.

Validate:

• Correct template for type: library targets main, service targets dev (baseBranchPatterns)
• Commit prefix scheme aligns with release config:
  • Library: chore(deps): for prod deps (no release trigger), fix(deps): for vulnerabilities
  • Service: fix(deps): for prod deps (triggers patch release on promotion)
  • Both: ci(deps): for GitHub Actions, chore(deps-dev): for dev deps
• vulnerabilityAlerts enabled with automerge: true
• Major prod deps require dependencyDashboardApproval: true
• semantic-release / python-semantic-release packages have automerge: false
• No deprecated options: baseBranches (use baseBranchPatterns), matchDepGroups (use matchCategories)
• No invalid managers: uv (use pep621), pip_requirements (use pep621)

Use library-template.json5 or service-template.json5 in this skill's directory as reference.

2e. Semantic release (release section)

Python repos: Check [tool.semantic_release] in pyproject.toml:

• exclude_commit_patterns must exclude chore, ci, style, test, build (except build(deps):)
• commit_message includes [skip ci]
• tag_format uses project-name prefix: {project-name}-v{version}
• build_command: library="uv lock && uv build", service=""
• version_variables points to valid __init__.py with __version__

TypeScript repos: Check .releaserc.json or release.config.js:

• releaseRules: chore/ci map to false, fix scope deps to patch
• Git plugin message includes [skip ci]

Verify renovate prefix alignment: fix(deps): must NOT be excluded (triggers releases). chore(deps):, ci(deps): must be excluded.

Use python-template.toml or node-template.releaserc.json in this skill's directory as reference.

2f. Dotfiles (dotfiles section)

Check .editorconfig:

• root = true, end_of_line = lf, insert_final_newline = true
• Python: 4 spaces indent. JS/TS/YAML/JSON: 2 spaces indent.

Check .gitignore:

• Safety (ERROR if missing): .env, .env.*, *.pem, .claude/settings.local.json
• Build artifacts (WARNING): __pycache__, node_modules/, *.pyc, .coverage, dist/, build/
• Anti-patterns (flag): *.lock files should NOT be in .gitignore (lock files must be committed)

Check tool config:

• Python pyproject.toml: ruff line-length = 100, mypy strict or disallow_untyped_defs, coverage source and omit
• TypeScript package.json: required scripts (dev, build, test, lint, format), biome config present

Use editorconfig-template in this skill's directory as reference.

3. Present Findings

Display a summary table:

Section          Status    Errors  Warnings  Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GitHub settings  DRIFT     1E      0W        Rulesets use old gate names
Pipeline         PASS      0E      0W
Pre-commit       DRIFT     0E      2W        Missing uv-lock-check hook
Renovate         MISSING   1E      0W        No renovate.json5
Release          PASS      0E      0W
Dotfiles         DRIFT     0E      1W        Missing .editorconfig
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total                      2E      3W

If --validate was specified, stop here.

If no args (default), ask the user: "Found 2 errors and 3 warnings. Fix all? [Y/n]"

If --fix was specified or user confirms, proceed to step 4.

---

4. Fix (dependency order)

Apply fixes in this order (later steps may depend on earlier ones):

1. Dotfiles: Generate .editorconfig from template if missing. Add safety entries to .gitignore.
2. Pre-commit / quality config: Generate .pre-commit-config.yaml from template if missing. Patch existing config to add missing hooks.
3. GitHub settings: Run ai-gh config --standardize. Run ai-gh rulesets --apply <library|service>.
4. Pipeline: If missing, generate via ai-gh workflow --type <library|service>. If exists but drifted, show diff and patch specific issues. Customize build step for detected framework.
5. Renovate: Generate renovate.json5 from template if missing. If exists, validate and patch prefix scheme.
6. Release: Generate or append semantic-release config. Verify renovate prefix alignment.

For each fix, show what changed. If a fix would overwrite user customizations in an existing file, show the diff and ask for confirmation.

---

5. Verify

After fixes:

1. If ai-gh is available: run ai-gh status --type <library|service> --verbose to verify GitHub-side alignment
2. Re-run the audit from step 2 to confirm all issues are resolved
3. Report final state

Verification: 0 errors, 0 warnings. Repository is standard-compliant.

If issues remain, list them with guidance on manual resolution.

Error Handling

• ai-gh not installed or .env missing GH variables: skip GitHub sections, audit local config only, note what was skipped
• Unknown repo type: ask the user (library or service?)
• Unknown language: ask the user (python or typescript?)
• Template file not found in skill directory: report error, skip that section
• ai-gh commands fail: show error output, continue with remaining sections
• Existing file has user customizations that conflict with standard: show diff, ask before overwriting
