Considered Quite Picky

Considered is a code-quality tool designed to enforce repository standards by checking metrics against declared policies. It records intentional exceptions with rationales, enabling teams to maintain consistency while allowing for justified deviations.

Key Features:

• Enforces code standards across repositories with customizable boundaries for metrics like lines of code, complexity, and file size.
• Documents exceptions with clear reasons, ensuring transparency and accountability for deviations from established guidelines.
• Includes a command-line interface (CLI) with a bundled metrics provider to streamline integration into development workflows.
• Sets repository-wide boundaries for key quality metrics, ensuring consistency across projects and teams.
• Provides warning thresholds for near-boundary values, allowing developers to address potential issues early.
• Tracks variances tied to specific files, making it easy to review and manage intentional deviations.

Target Audience and Benefits: Ideal for developers, maintainers, and development teams focused on maintaining high code quality. Considered helps enforce standards consistently across projects while providing a clear record of exceptions, improving transparency and collaboration. By integrating with CI/CD pipelines or running locally, it ensures that codebases remain aligned with organizational policies, reducing technical debt and fostering long-term maintainability.

Available via the Windows Package Manager, you can easily install Considered using WinGet to deploy it in your development environment.
