CodeRabbit Inheritance Scanner - Check

This skill checks a single repository's .coderabbit.yaml (or .coderabbit.yml) to determine whether inheritance: true is set.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill as Step 2 of the /teams:coderabbit-inheritance-scanner command. Call it once per repo found by the search skill. Multiple repos can be checked in a single bash invocation using the batch procedure below.

Procedure

For a batch of repos stored in a bash array, run the following to classify each one:

# Input: REPOS array of "org/repo" strings
# Output: prints classification and default branch for each repo

for REPO in "${REPOS[@]}"; do
  CONTENT=""
  CFGFILE=""
  for FILENAME in .coderabbit.yaml .coderabbit.yml; do
    CONTENT=$(gh api "repos/${REPO}/contents/${FILENAME}" --jq '.content' 2>/dev/null | base64 -d 2>/dev/null)
    if [ -n "$CONTENT" ]; then
      CFGFILE="$FILENAME"
      break
    fi
  done

  # Get default branch for link generation
  DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(gh api "repos/${REPO}" --jq '.default_branch' 2>/dev/null)

  if [ -z "$CONTENT" ]; then
    echo "ERROR|${REPO}|${DEFAULT_BRANCH}|${CFGFILE}"
    continue
  fi

  if echo "$CONTENT" | grep -qE '^\s*inheritance:\s*true'; then
    echo "COMPLIANT|${REPO}|${DEFAULT_BRANCH}|${CFGFILE}"
  elif echo "$CONTENT" | grep -qE '^\s*inheritance:\s*false'; then
    echo "FALSE|${REPO}|${DEFAULT_BRANCH}|${CFGFILE}"
  else
    echo "MISSING|${REPO}|${DEFAULT_BRANCH}|${CFGFILE}"
  fi

  sleep 0.3
done

Output Format

Pipe-separated fields per line:

STATUS|org/repo|default_branch|config_filename

Where STATUS is one of:

• COMPLIANT - inheritance: true is set
• FALSE - inheritance: false is explicitly set
• MISSING - the inheritance key is absent
• ERROR - could not fetch the file
