Repo Status

/repo-status — Remote Repo Health Check

Usage: /repo-status or /repo-status --quick

Assess remote-repo health across 4 factors, output a status level.

Instructions

Step 1: Gather data

If the project provides a helper script scripts/repo-status.sh, use it:

./scripts/repo-status.sh          # full report
./scripts/repo-status.sh --json   # JSON for parsing
./scripts/repo-status.sh --level  # level only (quick check)

If no such script exists, gather the 4 factors directly with gh / git (Steps below). If --quick: report the level in one line and stop.

Step 2: Analyze the 4 factors

Factor 1 — CI: if CI is failing on the default branch, find root cause:

DEFAULT=$(git symbolic-ref --quiet --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD | sed 's@^origin/@@'); DEFAULT=${DEFAULT:-main}
FAILED_RUN=$(gh run list --branch "$DEFAULT" --limit 5 \
  --json databaseId,workflowName,conclusion \
  --jq '.[] | select(.conclusion=="failure") | .databaseId' | head -1)
gh run view "$FAILED_RUN" --log-failed 2>/dev/null | tail -30

Factor 2 — PRs/Branches: check whether stale branches are WIP or abandoned:

git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate \
  --format='%(refname:short) %(committerdate:relative)' refs/remotes/ \
  | grep -vE "main|master|HEAD"

Factor 3 — Audit Gaps (optional — only if the project runs audits): read the latest audit report under documents/04-quality/audits/** (if present) to understand gap context. Cross-check: do gaps already have a merged PR fix? (compare against gh pr list --state merged since the audit date). If the project has no audit pipeline, skip this factor.

Factor 4 — GitHub Security: 3 endpoints via gh api:

REPO=$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq .nameWithOwner)
gh api "repos/$REPO/dependabot/alerts?state=open"       # → 403 if disabled
gh api "repos/$REPO/code-scanning/alerts?state=open"    # → [] if no scanner
gh api "repos/$REPO/secret-scanning/alerts?state=open"  # → public/enterprise only

Severity mapping:

• Dependabot critical → BLACK; high → RED; medium → YELLOW
• Code scanning error → HIGH (counts as CVE); warning → MEDIUM; note → LOW
• Any secret-scanning alert → BLACK (credential exposure)
• Dependabot disabled (HTTP 403) → minimum ORANGE (silent-drift risk)

If Dependabot is disabled, prompt the user to enable it (repo Settings → Code security and analysis).

Step 3: Output Report

## Repo Status: [LEVEL] — [Label]

**Date:** [date]
**Branch:** [default] @ [commit hash]

### Factor 1: CI
- Status: ✅/❌ [details]
- Days since green: [N]
- Root cause (if fail): [description]

### Factor 2: PRs & Branches
- Open PRs: [N]
- Stale branches: [N]
- Details: [list]

### Factor 3: Audit Gaps   (omit if no audit pipeline)
- Latest audit: [date] — [score]
- Unfixed P0/P1/P2: [counts]

### Factor 4: GitHub Security
- Dependabot: enabled/disabled — [critical/high/medium/low counts]
- Code scanning: [N errors / N warnings / N notes] — top finding: [rule.id + file]
- Secret scanning: [N open alerts] (BLACK if >0)

### Recommended Actions
1. [Highest priority]
2. [Next]

Step 4: Recommend actions

Level Definitions

Detail: reference/level-definitions.md

Rules

• Run the helper script first if it exists — don't infer status by hand.
• LUÔN giao tiếp tiếng Việt (per kit bilingual convention).
• If a check fails (GitHub API unavailable) → report it, don't guess.
• Cross-reference audit gaps with merged PRs — a gap may already be fixed but not re-audited.
• Recommended actions must be actionable (PR scope, estimate).

Gotchas

• All checks need gh authenticated (gh auth status).
• ci_days_red is based on last-success date, not first-failure date.
• Audit gaps (Factor 3) parse via P0/P1/P2 markers — if a project's report format differs, adapt the parse.
• Stale branches = unmerged into default branch, may be valid WIP — check commit date before recommending delete.
• Security factor (F4): gh api security endpoints return 403 if Dependabot disabled. Use a jq type-check (type=="array" = enabled) to distinguish a disabled object from an empty-but-enabled array. Do NOT grep the response body — CVE descriptions may contain the word "disabled" and cause false positives.
• Secret-scanning endpoint is only available for public repos or GitHub Enterprise — returns 404 for private repos → treat as "disabled".
• Code-scanning alerts only populate when a CodeQL/Trivy/SARIF upload workflow runs. No scanner = empty [], not disabled.
