+ ## [0.1.0] - 2026-10-02
11
+
12
+ ### Added
13
+
14
+ - Published to PyPI as `slopfence` (the project was originally named slopcheck, but that PyPI name belongs to an unrelated project)
15
+ - `slopfence` CLI with `--diff`, `--format text|json|sarif`, `--select`, `--ignore`, `--offline` and `--exit-zero`
16
+ - `SLOP001`: dependencies and imports that don't exist on PyPI, with a local cache
17
+ - `SLOP010`: placeholder comments left in finished-looking code
18
+ - `SLOP020`: tests that only assert on their own mocks
19
+ - `SLOP021`: tests whose only assertions are always true
20
+ - `SLOP022`: tests whose assertions are swallowed by try/except
21
+ - `SLOP051`: leftover AI chat text in comments and docstrings
22
+ - `# slopfence: ignore[...]` and `# slopfence: ignore-file` directives
23
+ - GitHub Action (`action.yml`) and pre-commit hook
24
+
25
+ ### Project setup
26
+
27
+ - Project README describing the problem, design principles, planned detectors and roadmap
28
+ - Community health files: Code of Conduct, Contributing guide, Security policy, Support, Governance
29
+ - Issue templates, pull request template, CODEOWNERS, Dependabot and CI

+ # Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
2
+
3
+ ## Our Pledge
4
+
5
+ We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
6
+ community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
7
+ size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
8
+ identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
9
+ nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
10
+ and orientation.
11
+
12
+ We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
13
+ diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
14
+
15
+ ## Our Standards
16
+
17
+ Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
18
+ community include:
19
+
20
+ * Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
21
+ * Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
22
+ * Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
23
+ * Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
24
+ and learning from the experience
25
+ * Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
26
+ overall community
27
+
28
+ Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
29
+
30
+ * The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
31
+ advances of any kind
32
+ * Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
33
+ * Public or private harassment
34
+ * Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
35

38
+
39
+ ## Enforcement Responsibilities
40
+
41
+ Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
42
+ acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
43
+ response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
44
+ or harmful.
45
+
46
+ Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
47
+ comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
48
+ not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
49
+ decisions when appropriate.
50
+
51
+ ## Scope
52
+
53
+ This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
54
+ an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
55
+ Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
56
+ posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
57
+ representative at an online or offline event.
58
+
59
+ ## Enforcement
60
+
61
+ Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
62
+ reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
63
+ syed.muhd.ahmad@gmail.com.
64
+ All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
65
+
66
+ All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
67
+ reporter of any incident.
68
+
69
+ ## Enforcement Guidelines
70
+
71
+ Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
72
+ the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
73
+
74
+ ### 1. Correction
75
+
76
+ **Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
77
+ unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
78
+
79
+ **Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
80
+ clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
81
+ behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
82
+
83
+ ### 2. Warning
84
+
85
+ **Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
86
+ of actions.
87
+
88
+ **Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
89
+ interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
90
+ those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
91
+ includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
92
+ like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
93
+ permanent ban.
94
+
95
+ ### 3. Temporary Ban
96
+
97
+ **Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
98
+ sustained inappropriate behavior.
99
+
100
+ **Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
101
+ communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
102
+ private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
103
+ with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
104
+ Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
105
+
106
+ ### 4. Permanent Ban
107
+
108
+ **Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
109
+ standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
110
+ individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
111
+
112
+ **Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
113
+ the community.

20
+
21
+ ## Before you start coding
22
+
23
+ - **Small fixes** (typos, docs, obvious bugs): open a pull request directly.
24
+ - **Anything bigger** (new detectors, new features, behaviour changes): open an issue first and wait for a maintainer to agree on the approach. This avoids wasted work.
25
+ - Comment on an issue to say you're working on it, so others don't duplicate effort.
26
+
27
+ ## Development workflow
28
+
29
+ `main` is protected: **nobody pushes to it directly**, maintainers included. All changes go through pull requests.
30
+
31
+ 1. **Fork** the repository and clone your fork.
32
+ 2. **Create a branch** from `main` with a descriptive name:
33
+ - `feat/slop001-pypi-lookup`
34
+ - `fix/false-positive-mock-assert`
35
+ - `docs/contributing-typo`
36
+ 3. **Make your changes.** Keep each pull request focused on one thing.
37
+ 4. **Add tests** for any behaviour change. Detectors need both:
38
+ - cases that **should** be flagged, and
39
+ - similar-looking cases that **should not** be flagged (false-positive guards).
40
+ 5. **Run checks locally** (see below) and make sure they pass.
41
+ 6. **Push** to your fork and **open a pull request** against `main`. Fill in the template.
42
+
43
+ ### What happens to your pull request
44
+
45
+ - CI must pass.
46
+ - At least **one maintainer approval** is required.
47
+ - All review conversations must be resolved.
48
+ - Pull requests are **squash-merged**, so `main` has a clean, linear history with one commit per pull request. The pull request title becomes the commit message, so make it clear.
49
+ - Your branch is deleted automatically after merge.
50
+
51
+ ## Local checks
52
+
53
+ ```bash
54
+ python -m venv .venv
55
+ source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
56
+ pip install -e '.[dev]'
57
+
58
+ pytest # tests
59
+ ruff check . && ruff format --check .
60
+ slopfence src tests # slopfence must pass on its own code
61
+ npx markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md" "!.venv/**"
62
+ ```
63
+
64
+ ### Adding a detector
65
+
66
+ 1. Add the rule to `RULES` in `src/slopfence/models.py`.
67
+ 2. Write the detector in `src/slopfence/detectors/` and register it in `detectors/__init__.py`.
68
+ 3. Add tests with **both** flagged and not-flagged cases. Real-world code that must stay quiet is the most valuable test.
69
+ 4. Run it against a large codebase (for example your Python install's standard library) and check for false positives before opening the pull request.
70
+
71
+ ## Commit and pull request style
72
+
73
+ - Use the imperative mood: "Add PyPI lookup cache", not "Added" or "Adds".
74
+ - Pull request titles follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) style where it fits:
75
+ - `feat: add SLOP010 placeholder comment detector`
76
+ - `fix: ignore mocks used as fixtures in SLOP020`
77
+ - `docs: clarify ignore comment syntax`
78
+ - `chore: bump actions/checkout`
79
+ - Reference related issues: `Closes #12`.
80
+
81
+ ## Writing a good detector
82
+
83
+ A detector is only useful if people trust it. Before proposing or writing one, check:
84
+
85
+ 1. **Is it objective?** Could two reviewers agree on whether a given snippet matches?
86
+ 2. **Is it high-confidence?** It's better to miss some cases than to flag correct code.
87
+ 3. **Is it actionable?** The message should tell the user what's wrong and how to fix it.
88
+ 4. **Is it about the pattern, not the author?** slopfence never tries to guess whether AI wrote the code.

+
92
+ By submitting a pull request, you agree that your contribution is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE), the same license as the project.
