Rules that adapt to your stack

Green Codex routes universal NR practices and language-specific checks to the technologies it detects. The catalogue covers Java, Rust, C, C++, Go, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, PHP, Ruby, Scala, Kotlin, Julia, Nim, Zig, Shell, SQL, PL/SQL, HTML5, CSS3, React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Preact, Astro and Solid.

Each applicable rule returns PASS, FAIL or REVIEW_REQUIRED with code location, impact, severity and evidence.
