    Automated analysis tools: SonarQube, CodeClimate, and Codacy detect code-level debt automatically: cyclomatic complexity, code duplication, dependency staleness, and coverage gaps. These tools supplement but don't replace the architectural and business-logic debt that requires human judgment to identify and document.

  10. super-linter

  12. chisel

    Chisel is a collection of LLDB commands to assist debugging iOS apps. (by facebook)

  13. Checkstyle

    Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. By default it supports the Google Java Style Guide and Sun Code Conventions, but is highly configurable. It can be invoked with an ANT task and a command line program.

    Project mention: Weather MCP | dev.to | 2026-03-31

    Added guard rails: Added unit and integration tests, added auto code formatting with spotless, added code analysis using checkstyle

  14. detekt

    Project mention: Show HN: DeepAudit – open-source auditing agent (LLMs and Static Analysis) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-15
  17. state-of-the-art-shitcode

    💩State-of-the-art shitcode principles your project should follow to call it a proper shitcode

  18. eslint-plugin-import

    ESLint plugin with rules that help validate proper imports.

  19. jscpd

    Copy/paste detector for programming source code, supports 223 formats. AI-ready with token-efficient reporter, skill and MCP server.

    Project mention: Add a 50x+ faster duplicate-code gate to GitHub Actions with jscpd-rs | dev.to | 2026-06-04

    This post shows how to add a fast duplicate-code gate to GitHub Actions with jscpd-rs, a native Rust implementation of the common jscpd workflow.

  20. Pylint

    It's not just a linter that annoys you!

  21. PMD

    An extensible multilanguage static code analyzer.

    Project mention: The Judgement Pyramid: Reasoning vs Measurement | dev.to | 2026-05-19

    A team I was talking to had built a code-review skill in Claude Code. It looked good: a careful prompt, a set of rules, and examples. Then it shipped a PR with a nested recursive loop inside another recursive loop. Cyclomatic complexity any static analyser (PMD, radon, ESLint's complexity rule) would have flagged in milliseconds. The skill missed it.

  22. MLeaksFinder

    Find memory leaks in your iOS app at develop time.

  23. SimpleCov

    Code coverage for Ruby with a powerful configuration library and automatic merging of coverage across test suites
