Custom static analysis
Your codebase already wrote the rulebook.
In a tailored engagement, SlopCop uses your team’s recurring fixes and architectural decisions to design deterministic checks for the rules generic linters do not know.
01Recover the rule from real fixes
Commit history often contains the same lesson more than once: validate before crossing this boundary, call the approved helper, close the resource on every path, or keep one package from depending on another.
We review those fixes with your team and state the intended rule explicitly before turning it into automation. Historical correlation is a starting point, not proof that every similar edit is a violation.
02Model the identity and path that matter
Useful checks rely on structural identity rather than matching a convenient function name or source-text fragment. Depending on the rule, that can include resolved calls, declared storage boundaries, exact endpoint bindings, resource ownership, or reviewed validator contracts.
When the analyzer cannot establish the required identity or complete the relevant walk, the result stays incomplete instead of approximating a production rule with regexes.
03Enforce the rule in CI
The finished check is deterministic: the same code and rules produce the same result. Positive cases and realistic near misses verify that the check catches the intended defect without turning adjacent code into noise.
Custom checks and CI integration are separate from SlopCop quick and deep reviews. Contact the SlopCop team to scope the repository, rule evidence, analyzer capabilities, validation cases, and rollout gate.
