sp-repo-review provides checks based on the Scientific-Python Development Guide at scientific-python/cookie.

This tool can check the style of a repository. Use like this:

pipx run 'sp-repo-review[cli]' <path to repository>

This will produce a list of results - green checkmarks mean this rule is followed, red x’s mean the rule is not. A yellow warning sign means that the check was skipped because a previous required check failed. Some checks will fail, that’s okay - the goal is bring all possible issues to your attention, not to force compliance with arbitrary checks. Eventually there might be a way to mark checks as ignored.

For example, GH101 expects all your action files to have a nice name: field. If you are happy with the file-based names you see in CI, you should feel free to simply ignore this check (just visually ignore it for the moment, a way to specify ignored checks will likely be added eventually).

All checks are mentioned at least in some way in the Scientific-Python Development Guide. You should read that first - if you are not attempting to follow them, some of the checks might not work. For example, the guidelines specify pytest configuration be placed in pyproject.toml. If you place it somewhere else, then all the pytest checks will be skipped.
