Can Ameba analyze Embedded Crystal (.ecr) files?

Yes, you can configure the Globs section in your .ameba.yml to include '**/*.ecr' files for analysis.

How do I generate a default Ameba configuration file?

You can generate a new .ameba.yml file with all default settings by running the 'ameba --gen-config' command in your terminal.

What is Ameba in the context of Crystal programming?

Ameba is a static code analysis tool for the Crystal programming language that enforces consistent style, catches code smells, and identifies potential bugs.

What are the available severity levels for Ameba rules?

Ameba supports three severity levels: Error (typically used to block CI builds), Warning (important issues), and Convention (minor style preferences).

Can I disable specific rules for a single line of code?

Yes, you can use an inline comment like '# ameba:disable RuleName' at the end of the line to bypass a specific rule.

Developer Tools

Configures and manages Ameba static analysis rules to enforce code quality and style conventions in Crystal projects.

About

The Ameba Configuration skill empowers developers to streamline Crystal project maintenance by automating the setup and management of Ameba, the premier static code analysis tool for the Crystal language. It provides comprehensive guidance on generating .ameba.yml files, defining source patterns, and fine-tuning rule categories including Lint, Style, and Performance. Whether you are enforcing strict CI/CD standards or applying progressive style improvements, this skill helps identify code smells, potential bugs, and inefficient patterns while supporting flexible inline rule management for legacy or specialized code blocks.

Key Features
