About this codebase
971 files and 6,661 symbols in 9 modules, led by Go (801 files) and Shell (20).
Built from the index
Code health
This codebase scores 7.0 out of 10 for code health, which we rate good. It also scores maintainability 7.8 and static performance 9.9 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 40 of 971 files are git hotspots, and they average 4.3 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

4 things worth doing this quarter.
Worth planning
Flatten the nesting in ValidateOrderStatusUpdate
internal/apis/acme/validation/order.go:56
ValidateOrderStatusUpdate nests its control flow deeply, and part of it is duplicated, so splitting it also removes a copy; 1 file imports it, changed 2 times in 90 days.
- gain
- up to +1.6 health on this file(inferred)

Medium effort, worth a checkBreak up solverForChallenge (CCN 50, 228 lines)
pkg/issuer/acme/dns/dns.go:280
solverForChallenge is long, branchy and widely depended on, and part of it is duplicated, so splitting it also removes a copy; 19 files import it, changed 2 times in 90 days.

Nothing in the graph reaches them, across 131 files; every reader and agent pays to skip them.

Use cert-manager/cert-manager in your agent
Point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code at this repository. Your agent gets the index this page is built from: cited answers, callers, history and health for any file.
https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/cert-manager/cert-managerOne command, run anywhere. Adds the server to your local Claude Code config.

- get_why("why is cert-manager structured this way?")
Prefer local? pip install repowise && repowise init indexes your own checkout, no account needed.

Automatically provision and manage TLS certificates in Kubernetes This page is a map of the cert-manager/cert-manager repository, written primarily in Go, rebuilt from the source each time it is indexed. Repowise parses every symbol, computes a dependency graph, scores per-file code health from complexity, duplication, test coverage and churn, mines git history for hotspots and ownership, and lifts the architectural decisions into documentation you can read here or query through MCP.
The codebase has 971 files and 6,661 symbols in 9 modules, led by Go, Shell and Makefile. Code health is 7.0 out of 10, rated good.
