dont-be-lazy 0.1.2

Tool that finds evidence of past skipped linting

Dont Be Lazy

Dont Be Lazy scans a repository for lint, type-checking, security, formatting, coverage, and test suppressions that were probably meant to be temporary and then forgotten. It helps teams find blanket ignores, stale skips, config-level exclusions, and other "we'll clean this up later" decisions before they become permanent.

What it can find

• Inline suppressions such as # noqa, # type: ignore, # nosec, # nosemgrep, # fmt: off, and skipped tests.
• Config-level suppressions such as ignored rules, per-file ignores, and excluded paths.
• Risky patterns like file-wide ignores, blanket suppressions, non-strict xfail, and vulnerability audit ignores.
• Age and ownership signals using git blame, git history, and baseline files.

Installation

pipx install dont_be_lazy

Or with pip:

pip install dont_be_lazy

For local development:

git clone https://github.com/matthewdeanmartin/dont_be_lazy.git
cd dont_be_lazy
uv sync --all-extras

Quick usage

Show the CLI:

dont_be_lazy --help

Scan a repository:

dont_be_lazy scan .

Focus on higher-risk suppressions:

dont_be_lazy scan . --risk high

Summarize findings by tool:

dont_be_lazy summary . --by tool

Find stale suppressions with git history:

dont_be_lazy stale . --older-than 180d --with-git-history

Create and check a baseline:

dont_be_lazy baseline create . --output .dont-be-lazy-baseline.json
dont_be_lazy baseline check . --baseline .dont-be-lazy-baseline.json

Review active policy rules:

dont_be_lazy rules list
dont_be_lazy rules test .

Export machine-readable output:

dont_be_lazy scan . --format sarif --output dont-be-lazy.sarif

Commands

Command	Purpose
scan	Find suppressions in code and config files.
summary	Show grouped counts by tool, kind, scope, owner, age, or risk.
list	Show supported tools, checks, and known suppression patterns.
config-suppressions	Scan config-file-level ignores and exclusions.
stale	Find old suppressions using a time threshold plus optional git metadata.
owners	Group suppressions by git blame author, email, team, or path.
explain	Explain one suppression by path:line or DBL identifier.
baseline	Create, check, and prune accepted suppressions over time.
rules	List policy rules and test current findings against them.

Output formats

scan supports table, json, jsonl, markdown, and sarif. Other commands support the subset that fits their output, so it can plug into terminal workflows, CI logs, dashboards, and code-scanning tools.
