Each repository connected to Detail has its own settings controlling which features are enabled, how often scans run, and which parts of the codebase to focus on. This lets you tailor Detail’s behavior per project — for example, running Doc Fixes daily on your primary service while scanning only the src/ directory of a monorepo.

​
Accessing repository settings

Go to Settings → Repositories in the Detail dashboard, then click the name of the repository you want to configure.

​
Per-repository settings

Bug Finder

Enable or disable the Bug Finder agent for this repository. Set path filters to focus scanning on specific directories and skip test or vendor code.

Dead Code

Enable or disable automated dead code detection. When enabled, Detail opens pull requests to remove unreachable code it finds during scans.

Doc Fixes

Enable or disable documentation drift detection. Set the run frequency to weekly (once per week) or weekdays (Monday through Friday).

​
Adding repositories

1

Open repository settings

Go to Settings → Repositories in the Detail dashboard.
2

Click Add Repository

Click the Add Repository button. Detail shows you a list of repositories accessible via the installed Detail GitHub App.
3

Select and confirm

Select the repository you want to add and click Add. Detail schedules an initial scan automatically.
If the repository you want isn’t listed, you may need to update the Detail GitHub App’s repository access first. Go to GitHub → Settings → Applications → Detail and add the repository under Repository access.

​
Removing a repository

To remove a repository from Detail and purge all history, open its settings page and click Remove from Detail at the bottom of the page. Confirm the removal in the dialog that appears.
