### Continuous Integration Tools
This project integrates with several code quality tools that automatically analyze your code when you create a pull request. These tools are free for public repositories and should be integrated into any new repositories based on this template.
1. **CodeRabbit**: AI-powered code review tool
- Provides automated feedback on pull requests
- Identifies potential issues and suggests improvements
- [Website](https://www.coderabbit.ai/)
2. **CodeFactor**: Continuous code quality monitoring
- Provides a grade for your codebase
- Identifies issues related to code style, complexity, and potential bugs
- Tracks code quality over time
- [Website](https://www.codefactor.io/)
3. **Codacy**: Code quality and static analysis
- Provides a grade for your codebase
- Identifies issues related to code style, security, and performance
- Tracks code quality over time
- [Website](https://www.codacy.com/)
4. **SonarCloud**: Code quality and security analysis
- Provides detailed analysis of code quality
- Identifies security vulnerabilities and technical debt
- Tracks code quality over time

### How to Pass Code Quality Checks
To ensure your code passes the quality checks from these tools, follow these guidelines:
1. **Run Local Checks First**
- Before pushing your code, run PHPCS and PHPCBF locally
- Fix any issues identified by these tools
2. **Address Common Issues**
- **Indentation**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (not tabs)
- **Line Length**: Keep lines under 100 characters
- **Naming Conventions**: Follow WordPress naming conventions
- **Documentation**: Add PHPDoc comments to classes, methods, and functions
- **Error Handling**: Implement proper error handling
- **Security**: Validate and sanitize input, escape output
3. **Using AI Assistants with Code Quality Tools**
- When you receive feedback from code quality tools, you can use AI assistants to help address the issues
- Copy the output from the code quality tool and paste it into your AI assistant chat
- Ask the AI to help you understand and fix the issues
- Example prompt: "I received the following feedback from [Tool Name]. Please help me understand these issues and suggest fixes: [Paste the tool output here]"
4. **Iterative Improvement**
- Address issues one at a time, starting with the most critical
- Commit and push your changes to see if they resolve the issues
- Continue this process until all issues are resolved
## Conclusion
Following these coding standards ensures that the plugin's code is consistent, readable, and maintainable. All contributors should adhere to these standards when submitting code to the project.
