Strong Testing

Skaffold reaches Level 4 with 88% Testing pass rate. Currently reaching production grade with 43/65 criteria passing (66%). Key areas for improvement include the opportunities listed below.

Strengths

01
Testing (88%)
Includes Integration Tests Exist, Test Coverage Thresholds, Test Isolation.
02
Code Modularization
Go uses internal/ package directories for compiler-enforced module boundaries (pkg/skaffold/, pkg/diag/)
03
Cyclomatic Complexity
golangci-lint includes gocyclo and cyclop linters for complexity analysis

Opportunities

01
Pre Commit Hooks
Set up pre-commit hooks (Husky, pre-commit) to catch issues before they reach CI and speed up feedback loops.
02
Feature Flag Infrastructure
Add feature flags to enable safer deployments and gradual rollouts.
03
Skills
Create .factory/skills to give agents reusable, tested capabilities for common tasks.
