Quantify Your Repository Health
Repo Card is a specialized developer tool that analyzes local codebases to generate high-quality, shareable status cards. It solves the problem of manual repository auditing by providing an instant, heuristic "Health Grade" based on established engineering rubrics. Whether you are prepping a project for handoff, auditing a legacy codebase, or showcasing a new open-source tool, Repo Card automates the documentation of project vitality.
What it does
- Static Analysis: Scans local directories to detect language distribution, codebase size, and architectural completeness.
- Vital Sign Detection: Automatically identifies the presence of testing suites, comprehensive documentation, and licensing.
- Heuristic Grading: Applies a standardized rubric to assign a project health grade (A-F).
- Multi-Format Export: Generates output in clean Markdown for READMEs or SVG for visual dashboards.
Why use this skill?
Unlike basic AI prompting, Repo Card follows a strict, safe workflow that avoids common pitfalls like hallucinating file structures or attempting to run untrusted code. It operates entirely on local static signals, ensuring zero network calls and total privacy for your source code. You get a consistent, professional-grade visual summary in seconds—a task that would take a developer 15-20 minutes of manual checking and formatting.
