Ordnung
Everything in its right place.
Ordnung checks that a GitHub repository is structurally in order. It never reads your code — it reads what surrounds it: manifests, lockfiles, workflows, branch protection, CODEOWNERS, Dependabot configuration, and the layout those live in.
$ ordnung check .
fail required ci-exists .github/workflows: no GitHub Actions workflows found
fail required dependabot .github/dependabot.yml: no .github/dependabot.yml or .github/dependabot.yaml found
pass required gitignore target: Cargo ignores target/ at .
fail recommended license LICENSE: no root license file found
fail required lockfiles .: Cargo package has no Cargo.lock at its lockfile owner .
pass required project-inventory .: detected 1 project boundary/boundaries
…
27 results (10 hidden, see --all): 6 pass, 11 fail, 10 skip — 4 required failures (exit 1)None of these findings breaks anything today, and none is what a code reviewer looks at — each is invisible until it matters. Ordnung makes the state checkable: 51 checks, each with a stable identifier, gate CI on one repository, and across many, a fleet keeps shared configuration synchronized from one place, as reviewable pull requests.
Checking is read-only. Every write shows its complete plan first and requires
an explicit --apply.
