- description
- Maintain CODEOWNERS file and team directories. Provides resolve-codeowners.js to annotate files with their owner team — useful to split a large PR by team. Use when working with "**/team-*/**" or splitting monolithic files.
# Codeownership
## Why
- To reduce cross-team review bottlenecks
## What
- Make ownership of team specific directories clear
- Organise some directories into team-specific sub-directories
- Maintain CODEOWNERS files when team specific directories are added or removed
- Split monolithic files or folders that have been identified as being touched by too many teams
## Resolving ownership for a list of files
Use `resolve-codeowners.js` to annotate any list of files with their CODEOWNERS team — handy when splitting a large PR by team owner. It uses the same matcher as the CI check in [validate-codeowners](../../../tools/actions/composites/validate-codeowners/README.md), so it resolves exactly as GitHub does (case-sensitive, no install needed).
```bash
# From a git diff
git diff --name-only HEAD~1 | node .agents/skills/codeownership/resolve-codeowners.js
# Explicit file list
node .agents/skills/codeownership/resolve-codeowners.js apps/ledger-live-desktop/src/foo.ts libs/env/src/bar.ts
# Override CODEOWNERS location
node .agents/skills/codeownership/resolve-codeowners.js --codeowners /path/to/CODEOWNERS <files...>
```
Output format (same columns as CODEOWNERS, but resolved to actual files):
```
apps/ledger-live-desktop/src/main/index.ts @ledgerhq/platform
apps/ledger-live-desktop/src/renderer/foo.ts @ledgerhq/wallet-xp
.github/workflows/e2e.yml @ledgerhq/wallet-ci @ledgerhq/qaa
random/unknown/file.xyz (no owner)
```
Semantics: last-rule-wins; ownerless entries appear as `(no owner)`.
## Checking CODEOWNERS before pushing
After editing `CODEOWNERS`, or moving or deleting files it names, run the CI check locally:
```bash
node .agents/skills/codeownership/resolve-codeowners.js --check
```
It fails on rules that match no file, never take effect, re-own narrower rules from a later position, or use an unanchored name that matches in several places. Put defaults such as `**/tsconfig*` near the top; team-specific rules come after them.
## Target
### Splitting a monolithic file
- Split `[foo].ts` into `[foo]/team-[name]/*.ts`
### Maintaining team specific directories
#### Example
**`/shared/feature-flags/src/flags/`** contains `team-coin-integration`, `team-engagement`, `team-live-devices`, etc.
**`CODEOWNERS`** defines the owner for each of these:
```
**/team-coin-integration/ @ledgerhq/coin-integration
**/team-engagement/ @ledgerhq/engagement
**/team-live-devices/ @ledgerhq/live-devices
```
