I’ve just released repo-review 1.0 with a huge update to the WebApp, along with some other solid improvements in speed, simplicity, and stability. Repo-review’s two most popular plugins, sp-repo-review and validate-pyproject, can take full advantage of the new asynchronous fetching mechanism. And if you use the upcoming Python 3.15, the CLI is more responsive than ever thanks to lazy loading!

I’ve released a new¹ toolkit for running checks, similar to Ruff and Flake8 but designed to check configuration, called repo-review. It requires Python 3.10+² to run and has no built-in checks, but is easy to write plugins for. A set of checks based on the Scientific Python Development Guide (which I also have a post about!) are available as a plugin, sp-repo-review. You can run repo-review in WebAssembly (via Pyodide), or in pre-commit, or as a GitHub Action. It supports multiple output formats, including Rich, HTML, and JSON. The system is based on fixtures (like pytest) and topologically sorts requirements. You don’t need to depend on repo-review to add a repo-review plugin. You can see a live version using sp-repo-review in-place here or standalone here.
