| description | Verify changes follow nearest-scoped AGENTS.md rules: group changed files by nested scope, auto-fix formatting, run lint/tests, and report violations. Use when the user wants scoped compliance checks for changed files. |
Coding guidelines verifier
Goal
Validate that changes follow the nearest nested AGENTS.md:
- default: changed files only
- default: auto-fix formatting before lint/tests
- monorepo-aware: each module’s
AGENTS.md is the source of truth for that scope
Workflow (checklist)
- Collect changed files (staged + unstaged + untracked).
- For each changed file, find the nearest parent
AGENTS.md.
- If a file has no scoped
AGENTS.md, report it (suggest running coding-guidelines-gen).
- Parse the
codex-guidelines block (schema: references/verifiable-block.md).
- Run, per scope:
- format (auto-fix) -> lint -> tests
- apply simple forbid rules (globs/regex) from the block
- Produce a short compliance report (template:
references/report-template.md).
Automation
Use scripts/verify_guidelines.py to group scopes, run commands, and report results.
- If
python is not available or the script fails, tell the user and ask whether to install Python or proceed with a manual per-scope verification.
Deliverable
Provide:
- The per-scope compliance report (use
references/report-template.md).
- Any auto-fix formatting changes applied.
- Lint/test commands run and their results, plus any violations.
