Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@rigour-labs/cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

@rigour-labs/cli

Local-first quality gates for AI-generated code.
Rigour forces AI agents to meet strict engineering standards before marking tasks "Done".

Zero cloud. Zero telemetry. PASS/FAIL is always free.

🚀 Quick Start

npx rigour scan     # Zero-config scan (auto-detect stack)
npx rigour init     # Initialize quality gates
npx rigour check    # Verify code quality
npx rigour run -- claude "Build feature X"  # Agent loop

🛑 The Problem

AI agents often fall into **"Vibe Coding"**—claiming success based on narrative, not execution:

Agent makes a change
Agent claims "Task 100% complete"
CI Fails with type errors, lint failures, or broken tests

Rigour breaks this cycle by forcing agents to face the same verification tools (ruff, mypy, vitest) that CI runs—locally and immediately.

🔄 How It Works

Agent writes code → Rigour checks → FAIL? → Fix Packet → Agent retries → PASS ✓

⚙️ Quality Gates

Structural & Security Gates

Gate	Description
File Size	Max lines per file (default: 300-500)
Hygiene	No TODO/FIXME comments allowed
Complexity	Cyclomatic complexity limits (AST-based)
Required Docs	SPEC.md, ARCH.md, README must exist
File Guard	Protected paths, max files changed
Security Patterns	XSS, SQL injection, hardcoded secrets, command injection
Context Alignment	Prevents drift by anchoring on project patterns

AI-Native Drift Detection (v2.16+)

Gate	Description
Duplication Drift	Near-identical functions across files — AI re-invents what it forgot
Hallucinated Imports	Imports referencing modules that don't exist (JS/TS, Python, Go, Ruby, C#)
Inconsistent Error Handling	Same error type handled differently across agent sessions
Context Window Artifacts	Quality degradation within a file — clean top, messy bottom
Async & Error Safety	Unsafe async/promise patterns, unhandled errors across 6 languages

Multi-Language Support

All gates support TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Ruby, and C#/.NET.
