# detekt Plugin
Static analysis for Kotlin and Gradle projects. Enforces style rules, flags complexity and smells, and integrates with CI via SARIF/XML/TXT reports.
## Installation
```bash
brew install detekt
# or via Gradle plugin in build.gradle.kts:
# plugins { id("io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt") version "1.23.7" }
```
Download CLI jars from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/detekt/detekt/releases).
## Basic Usage
```bash
# Analyze a Kotlin project directory
detekt --input src/
# Use a custom ruleset config
detekt --config detekt.yml --input .
# Generate a report for CI
detekt --input src/ --report xml:build/detekt.xml
# Auto-correct fixable issues
detekt --input src/ --auto-correct
```
## Common Patterns
```bash
# Baseline existing issues (ignore legacy debt)
detekt --create-baseline --baseline detekt-baseline.xml --input src/
detekt --baseline detekt-baseline.xml --input src/
# Fail build on findings
detekt --input src/ --fail-on-max-issues 0
# Gradle wrapper (typical in Kotlin repos)
./gradlew detekt
```
## Usage Examples
- "Run detekt on this Kotlin module"
- "Generate an XML report for CI"
- "Check for code smells before opening a PR"
## SuperCLI
```bash
sc detekt _ _ --input src/
sc detekt _ _ --config detekt.yml --input .
