/check

Zenable Check

Run conformance checks on files to validate they meet organizational requirements, security standards, and quality guidelines. Can also display active requirements and perform comprehensive validation.

Usage

/check [options] [file-paths...]

Options

• No arguments: Check all modified files in the current git repository
• --all or -a: Comprehensive validation of entire codebase
• --requirements or -r: Display active requirements and policies
• [file-paths...]: Check specific files or directories

What it does

1. File checks (default or with file paths):

   • Identifies changed or specified files
   • Validates code quality standards
   • Checks security requirements
   • Enforces organizational policies
   • Verifies best practices
   • Reports violations with actionable recommendations

2. Full validation (--all):

   • Discovers all project files (respecting .gitignore)
   • Runs comprehensive conformance checks across codebase
   • Provides detailed report with severity levels
   • Suggests fixes for issues found

3. Requirements display (--requirements):

   • Shows active conformance requirements and policies
   • Displays security requirements, quality standards, compliance guardrails
   • Provides context about why each requirement matters
   • Links to detailed documentation

Examples

/check                              # Check modified files
/check src/api/auth.py              # Check specific file
/check --all                        # Validate entire codebase
/check --requirements               # Show active requirements
/check -a src/                      # Validate entire src directory

When to use

• During development: Check modified files continuously
• Before commits: Validate changes before committing
• Before PRs: Run --all for comprehensive validation
• Onboarding: Use --requirements to understand project standards
• Troubleshooting: Check specific files after conformance failures

Implementation

Use the mcp__zenable__conformance_check tool (provided by the Zenable MCP server) to run conformance checks.

Steps:

1. Parse command arguments to determine mode (check/validate/requirements)
2. For file checks:
   • If no file paths: use git diff --name-only to find modified files
   • If --all: use git ls-files to get all tracked files
3. Call mcp__zenable__conformance_check with appropriate parameters
4. Parse and present results to the user
5. If violations found, offer to help fix them
6. For requirements mode, format and display active policies by category
